Darren SmithHostGary O'BrienHostAnyway, the big news that was announced recently is Motorsport Australia Trophy Tour.
Now, the Victorian State Series has had the title this year, but in 2027, the moniker will cover all states.
So far, 35 rounds have been announced across the country, taking in the usual racetracks used in the state racing.
There are 10 rounds in Western Australia, six in Queensland, South Australia and Victoria, and just five in New South Wales.
The National Trophy Tour calendar, which features both state and club categories, represents Motorsport Australia's commitment to state championships by strengthening participation pathways and assisting in the delivery of high-quality and accessible circuit racing across the country.
Trophy Tour focuses on giving competitors more of what matters most, a time on track and value for their entry fee, whilst helping organisers in running state, fair and fun events.
Every Trophy Tour event is delivered with the insurance of Motorsport Australia Industry Leading Insurance Cover and supported by rigorous governance, integrity and safety frameworks.

Insurance specialist Shannon's is the new naming rights partner of the Australian Superbike Championship, extending its already significant commitment to local motorsport competition into the nation's premier motorcycle circuit racing arena.

Phillip Island on October 23, 24, 25 marked the start of the groundbreaking summer-based calendar.

Six marks, season stars, rookies, emerging talent, and internationals are entered.

It is only the second time Superbikes have competed for Australian Superbike Championship points at the Australian Motorcycle Grand Prix.
Well, the very popular Geelong Revival Motoring Festival has been cancelled for 2026.
Organisers announced the cancellation in mid-September after they withdrew their funding application with the city to re-image and reinvent the event.
