ASBK Back Under Lights at SMSP In 2025 for Thrilling Sydney Night Race

After two incredibly successful ASBK Night Races and now undisputed status as the flagship event on the mi-bike Motorcycle Insurance Australian Superbike Championship presented by Motul (ASBK) calendar, Australia’s fastest riders will again return to the world-class Sydney Motorsport Park (SMSP) for more of the same electrifying ASBK action in 2025.

Thanks to a renewed partnership with Destination NSW, the NSW Government’s tourism and major events agency, round two of the 2025 ASBK Championship is now confirmed at the 3.93km grand prix circuit in a spectacular two-day event on March 28-29.

With the venue’s world-class lighting system adding to the exciting atmosphere, the races will be held under lights in an exclusive to the NSW venue, which is sure to thrill all the family at a circuit like no other on the ASBK calendar.

On-track activity will span across both days, with practice and qualifying during daylight hours followed by SMSP’s 138 light towers illuminating for the action and intensity of the ASBK Night Race after the sun sets.

Additionally, a huge array of off-track activities and activations will delight fans young and old, including free ASBK pit access allowing spectators to get close to the cutting-edge ASBK machinery and grab autographs from their favourite riders.

 

The return of ASBK to Sydney joins a lineup of other major events in the harbour city in 2025, with Destination NSW ensuring the biggest events and fastest motorsport championships are hosted in the tourist capital of Australia.

The two Night Races at SMSP – 2023’s event the first under lights in the four-decade history of the ASBK Championship – have showcased the superstars of Australian Superbike racing in front of spectators from across Australia and abroad.

Josh Waters has been the dominant Superbike rider during those two years, and he – like all the riders and spectators – loves the bright spotlight and unique atmosphere of the Sydney round.

And the great news is that we’ll be returning in 2025 as the rich tradition of the ASBK Championship – where riders such as Aussie hero Mick Doohan and current MotoGP star Jack Miller have passed through its famous ranks – continues under lights at SMSP.

Peter Doyle, Motorcycling Australia CEO:
“The last two ASBK Sydney Night Races under lights at Sydney Motorsport Park have been magnificent spectacles, not only in terms of the adrenalin on track but the electric atmosphere that Night Races can produce.

“That X-factor makes the Sydney round a real jewel in the ASBK crown, so it goes without saying we’re delighted to be backing up again with the ASBK Night Race in 2025.

“I’d also like to thank Destination NSW for all its insight and support into making the ASBK Sydney Night Race happen, and we again look forward to welcoming visitors and riders from all parts of the country and internationally to this showpiece event."
