Review:
Motor racing on Phillip Island began in 1928 with the 100 Mile Road Race through the gravel streets. The circuit was used as the home of the Australian Grand Prix until 1935. In 1956, local businessmen built a new track with steep gradients that were severely damaged during each race and had to be abandoned when repairs became too costly. In 1988 it was refurbished. The Australian Motorcylce Grand Prix and the Superbike World Championships were held at the new track. A 750 m replica has been built for go karting. At the visitor center, there is a display of the History of Motor Sport and a race simulator.
