Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit
At Cowes, racing enthusiasts enjoy visiting the Phillip Island
Grand Prix Circuit, originally opened in 1956, which annually hosts
two international motorcycle events, the Superbike World
Championship and the Qantas Australian Motorcycle Grand Prix. The
Circuit has a Visitor Centre, which includes information displays
on the history of motor sport on Phillip Island, a circuit viewing
area, a café, water gardens and wildlife enclosures. Guided
walking tours take visitors to off-limits areas around the track,
including the winner's podium, the pit lane and the control tower.
Visitors may also experience an adrenaline-pumping triple lap ride
with an experienced racing driver in the HSV Hot Laps.
