Motorcycle Racing to Return to Barbagallo Raceway

Motorcycling Australia (MA), have confirmed that motorcycle racing is set to return to Barbagallo Raceway in 2019. With the recent reinstatement of the circuit’s MA track license the circuit is once again accredited to host motorcycle racing events, effective March 1, 2019.

After a two-year hiatus, MA has given the green light for motorcycle competition to take place at the Wanneroo circuit after several upgrades were undertaken to improve track safety, including the addition of a brand-new chicane to the layout and the installation of Airfence safety barriers at key points.

By the time the lights went out, it was all about Wayne Maxwell who snared the hole-shot in all three races. Maxwell defeated Stronach in race one by a massive 11.866sec with Anthony McFadden, also mounted on an S 1000RR in third.

We would also like to acknowledge Minister for Sport and Recreation, The Hon.
