This weekend was set to be the final MotoGP on Phillip Island, but the weather has literally rained on their parade.
But we do like on Summer Grandstand to have a look back at some history, and there has been some serious history at this track.
So we are going to take a little trip down memory lane and farewell Phillip Island and the MotoGP.
With a newly restored track costing a cool $5 million, Phillip Island hosted the first ever world championship motorcycle race on Australian soil.
And Aussie won the first race down under and the crowd was in raptures for their local champ.
