Bringing the next generation into the heart of #WorldSBK!

The Australian Round WorldSBK Paddock was buzzing with excitement as we welcomed students from Leongatha Primary School and Powlett River Primary for a special local communities engagement experience at the Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit.

Their journey started on the Paddock Show stage, where selected Junior Reporters got the incredible opportunity to interview WorldSBK rider Remy Gardner and WorldWCR rider Tayla Relph — a truly unforgettable moment!

From there, the students explored the behind-the-scenes world of WorldSBK, gaining insight into the dedication and teamwork that make the championship possible. To top it off, they enjoyed a Pit Walk experience, where they got up close with the bikes and received a warm welcome from the teams.

Engaging with local communities is at the heart of what we do, and seeing the enthusiasm of these young fans was a fantastic reminder of the power of motorsport to inspire future generations. 💙🏍️
