2025 AUSTRALIAN SUPERBIKE CHAMPIONSHIP: Round 5
Queensland Raceway
August 8-10, 2025
The long-standing connection between the Australian Superbike (ASBK) and Supercars Championships will ramp up again in 2025, with the two to reunite at Queensland Raceway from August 8-10 at the running of the Ipswich Super440.
The ASBK Superbike category will be in the action as the 2025 mi-bike Motorcycle Insurance Australian Superbike Championship presented by Motul passes the halfway mark, while the Ipswich event will mark round eight of the 2025 Repco Supercars Championship.
The two championships have been thrilling motorsport fans in the ‘2-plus-4’ concept since way back in the 1980s, with Darwin’s Hidden Valley Raceway marking the last time the categories paired together in 2023 as Troy Herfoss claimed the overall Superbike spoils.
Now the collaboration moves to the revitalised Queensland Raceway on the unassuming but unique 3.126km layout where producing a hot lap can often be a deceptively tricky proposition.
Queensland Raceway is also a delight for spectators, with elevated mounds offering an unrestricted view of the entire six-turn circuit so you don’t miss a minute of the action.
The Superbike riders will contest three races during the Ipswich Super 440, which will make Queensland the most visited state by the ASBK Championship in 2025 – which includes standalone rounds at Queensland Raceway (May 2-4) and Morgan Park Raceway (June 13-15).
Riders and drivers from both championships will also unite for pre-event activations, anchored by huge respect and camaraderie across both categories – and in the case of reigning Superbike champion Josh Waters and Monster Castrol Racing’s Cam Waters, direct family links as first cousins.
