Combining live action sport, intense dirt bike racing and world-class entertainment for motorsport fans and families alike, the Boost Mobile AUSX Supercross Sprint is an event-first for the VAILO Adelaide 500.

 

The custom-built track, with 5000 tonnes of dirt, has been designed to provide fans with some of the best Supercross action that fans have ever seen. When gates drop there will be tighter battles, challenging obstacles, multiple line choices, and aggressive passing opportunities to ensure there is something always happening on track and in the air.

 

The new sprint format will see SX1 and SX2 riders, including the likes of Australian stars Matt Moss, Luke Clout and Aaron Tanti, battle it out in qualifying, heats and the Superpole on Friday. On Saturday, there are four short form finals, with two back-to-back blacks, that will deliver full throttle racing action. Over 7 intense laps, riders heart rates will hit 180bpm, drawing on their abilities to focus, re-set and go again with the best rising to the top. Rising stars across the SX3 and 85CC will be amongst the racing action on Saturday and Sunday.

 

This is unmissable edge of your seat action!
