Round 3 – Phillip Island GP Circuit 26 & 27 August 2017
The Preston Motorcycle Club in conjunction with Motorcycling Victoria welcome all competitors, spectators and supporters to Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit for Round 3 of the Victorian Road Race Championships 2017. We are very excited to host the four round series, at the major tracks in Victoria and look forward to seeing our states finest, competing for the prestigious state title.
Our main sponsors will be CYKEL, Pirelli, Motul and this year we welcome Husqvarna to the fold, as well as our usual sponsors including Axle Armor Track Sliders, Race Center, Pablo's Tyres, Ashburton Service Centre, Victorian Motorcycle Wreckers and Ricondi Australia. We will also have the support of Race Marshals Victoria in control of the racing, rain hail or shine and Computime to ensure everything runs safely and smoothly. This round will see the traditional Harvey Wiltshire and Hughie Hoare feature races for the Superbike and Supersport classes respectively as endurance races at the Phillip Island round. The Harvey Wiltshire Memorial Trophy, which was first contested in 1951 and (other than 1965) has been competed for every year since. It is the longest-running trophy for road racing in Australia.
The Harvey Wilshire perpetual trophy can boast some of the biggest names in Australian racing, many who went on to achieve success on the international stage – Ken Blake, Gregg Hansford, Robbie Phillis, Daryl Beattie and Steve Martin to name just a few. Recent winners include Brayden Elliott (2016) and Chas Hern (2015). Both races have trophies and prize money as well as counting toward the VRRC Championship. has recently received a full restoration and has been returned to it's original, and state.
The format will include two Qualifying sessions and a race on the Saturday and a warm up and two races on the Sunday for most classes except Bears and any class that is combined with the Bears, which will have one qualifying and two races on the Saturday and a warm up and two races on the Sunday. The series will run in the same format as the ASBK currently uses. VRRC 2017 will be hosting the OZBears for 3 rounds, hence the need for the Bears class to have a different format to conform with their series, it will however also be a VRRC 4 round series.
Riders who use Pirelli tyres will be eligible for entry into the two random draw prize giveaways and selected classes have contingency prizes available for riders using Pirelli tyres. Trophies will be awarded for the first 3 place getters in each class at every round including B and C grade for Superbike and Supersport. Trophies and prize money will be presented to the first 3 place getters in the Harvey Wiltshire and Hughie Hoare feature races at the conclusion of the weekend. Competitors are eligible for the contingency prizes, if running Pirelli tyres and stickering; Superbikes: At each round. First outright – 1 set of Pirelli tyres.

Developed right here in Australia. In an era where the majority of race suspension components are imported, Race Center couldn’t be prouder to be
developing their own technology in house and proving itself against the best other brands have to
offer.
Jay Presepio used Race Center’s latest innovation, the FD-02 fork cartridge combined with Race Center mentoring to move from mid pack runner to score his first ever Australasian Supersport win

ATTENTION ALL HISTORIC BIKE RACERS!
Looking for more opportunities to race your historic bike? Well you cannot go past the Preston MCC Bracket Racing Series.
Bracket racing does not put bikes into classes but riders in to time brackets regardless of the bike they are racing. Finally some close action on the track!
Preston Motorcycle Club THE HOME OF BRACKET RACING
Bracket Racing is a form of racing where competitors are grouped into brackets according to their lap times and not by the class of bike they are riding, this provides the following advantages:
Exciting and enjoyable racing as you will be racing with other competitors who have very similar lap times.
Low cost, as you can use whatever bike you have available, be it a classic, modern or anywhere in-between, and there is no need to spend extra money to make it competitive in a class.
The format is ideal for both new and current racers alike, with its friendly and low stress atmosphere allowing competitors to develop their confidence and skills without feeling like they have been thrown into the deep end.
Join us at Broadford for
Round 2 - 21st May 2017 and Round 3 - 8th October 2017.

BRACKET RACING 2017 18 & 19 Feb
Round 1 Report Wow! What a weekend it was at Broadford State Motorcycle Sports Complex; road race circuit for the opening round of The Preston Motorcycle Club 2017 Bracket Racing Series. The event organisers, MV officials and volunteer marshals from Race Marshals Victoria were full of praise for all after a brilliant weekend of super close racing in all fields and the format of the newly introduced bracket racing series in Victoria.
The advanced racing group, riding at in the 1 minute and under range set a pace that matches those riding at the top state level and gave us a great show, while in the same event, there were riders who were busy prepping and converting their road bikes and taking to the grid for their first ever race. Some were coming back after a bit of time off from riding, and were looking for a cruisy event to get comfortable racing again. Lap times don’t matter so much, it is all about getting out there and experiencing racing. The Supermoto machines joined in for the weekend, and had a bit of a chance to play on the mixed road/dirt circuit in both wet and dry conditions. It was a weekend for all.
As with the introductory round held in 2016, the most encouraging part of the weekend for the PMCC Bracket Racing 2017 hosts was the pathway that has been created for track day riders and racing enthusiasts to step into our beloved sport. Bracket Racing has given people the opportunity to have a taste of racing, without a lot of the pressure that comes with committing to a series, without any racing experience behind them. There is an open track day the day before each of the three rounds, where coaching is provided for those wanting to get their eye in, as well as getting some good advice before lining up on the grid.
It was great to see some of the regular attendees at the MV Girls Only Track Days take the plunge and mix it up with the boys in the three qualifying sessions and five races. It is a lot of track time in a day, and those ladies were surprising themselves, and the competition with the improvements they were making.
Results from the weekend, and for the 2017 Bracket Racing Series can be found at Computime Race Timing Systems. For new racers, this is the official link to bragging rights ;)
http://www.computime.com.au/
The team at Preston Motorcycle Club can’t thank everyone enough for embracing the new format of bracket racing, and bringing your ‘A Game’ for the weekend. We are extremely grateful for the support and proud to have been able to get this gig off the ground. We hope it helps to give riders a chance to experience a different type of racing as well as introduce those with their toes dangling on the edge of the pool into the world of road racing.
The next round will be held at Broadford Motorcycle Sports Complex on 7 & 8 October 2017. Details can be found at: https://prestonmotorcycleclubinc.wildapricot.org/page-18088
