Welcome Victorian Road Racing Championship
Round 2 – Winton Raceway 6 & 7 May 2017
The Preston Motorcycle Club in conjunction with Motorcycling Victoria are proud to be up and running for Round 2 of the Victorian Road Race Championships 2017. We are very excited to host the four round series, at the major tracks in Victoria and look forward to seeing our states finest, competing for the prestigious state title. We welcome all competitors, spectators and supporters to Winton Raceway. The VRRC Championship is glad to include Winton in its 2017 series.
Our main sponsors will be CYKEL, Pirelli, Motul and this year we welcome Husqvarna to the fold, as well as our usual sponsors including Axle Armor Track Sliders, Race Center, Pablo's Tyres, Ashburton Service Centre, Victorian Motorcycle Wreckers and Ricondi Australia. We will also have the support of Race Marshals Victoria in control of the racing, rain hail or shine and Computime to ensure everything runs safely and smoothly. This year will see the traditional Harvey Wiltshire and Hughie Hoare feature races for the Superbike and Supersport classes respectively as endurance races at the Phillip Island round and they will have special trophies and prize money as well as counting toward the VRRC Championship.
The format will include two Qualifying sessions and a race on the Saturday and a warm up and two races on the Sunday for most classes except Bears and any class that is combined with the Bears, which will have one qualifying and two races on the Saturday and a warm up and two races on the Sunday. The series will run in the same format as the ASBK currently uses.
VRRC 2017 will be hosting the OZBears for 3 rounds like this year, hence the need for the Bears class to have a different format to conform with their series, it will however also be a VRRC 4 round series.
Riders who use Pirelli tyres will be eligible for entry into the two random draw prize giveaways and selected classes have contingency prizes available for riders using Pirelli tyres. Trophies will be awarded for the first 3 place getters in each class at every round including B and C grade for Superbike, Supersport and Supermoto. Trophies and prize money will be presented to the first 3 place getters in the Harvey Wiltshire and Hughie Hoare feature races at the conclusion of the weekend. Competitors are eligible for the contingency prizes, if running Pirelli tyres and stickering; Superbikes: At each round. First outright – 1 set of Pirelli tyres. Second outright – 1 rear Pirelli tyre. Third outright – 1 front Pirelli tyre. Both B and C grade 1st $250 Cykel dollars 2nd $150 Cykel dollars, 3rd $75 Cykel dollars Supersport: At each round. First outright – 1 set of Pirelli tyres. Second outright – 1 rear Pirelli tyre. Third outright – 1 front Pirelli tyre. Both B and C grade 1st $250 Cykel dollars 2nd $150 Cykel dollars 3rd $75 Cykel dollars Random Draw: 2 riders will be drawn randomly at each round, from competitors who have used Pirelli tyres at that round. Each prize will be one pair of Pirelli tyres.
We wish all competitors a fantastic season, and hope you all enjoy the series.

Developed right here in Australia. In an era where the majority of race suspension components are imported, Race Center couldn’t be prouder to be
developing their own technology in house and proving itself against the best other brands have to
offer.
Jay Presepio used Race Center’s latest innovation, the FD-02 fork cartridge combined with Race Center mentoring to move from mid pack runner to score his first ever Australasian Supersport win

ATTENTION ALL HISTORIC BIKE RACERS!
Looking for more opportunities to race your historic bike? Well you cannot go past the Preston MCC Bracket Racing Series.
Bracket racing does not put bikes into classes but riders in to time brackets regardless of the bike they are racing. Finally some close action on the track!
Preston Motorcycle Club THE HOME OF BRACKET RACING
Bracket Racing is a form of racing where competitors are grouped into brackets according to their lap times and not by the class of bike they are riding, this provides the following advantages:
Exciting and enjoyable racing as you will be racing with other competitors who have very similar lap times.
Low cost, as you can use whatever bike you have available, be it a classic, modern or anywhere in-between, and there is no need to spend extra money to make it competitive in a class.
The format is ideal for both new and current racers alike, with its friendly and low stress atmosphere allowing competitors to develop their confidence and skills without feeling like they have been thrown into the deep end.
Join us at Broadford for
Round 2 - 21st May 2017 and Round 3 - 8th October 2017.

Round 1 Report Wow! What a weekend it was at Broadford State Motorcycle Sports Complex; road race circuit for the opening round of The Preston Motorcycle Club 2017 Bracket Racing Series. The event organisers, MV officials and volunteer marshals from Race Marshals Victoria were full of praise for all after a brilliant weekend of super close racing in all fields and the format of the newly introduced bracket racing series in Victoria.
The advanced racing group, riding at in the 1 minute and under range set a pace that matches those riding at the top state level and gave us a great show, while in the same event, there were riders who were busy prepping and converting their road bikes and taking to the grid for their first ever race. Some were coming back after a bit of time off from riding, and were looking for a cruisy event to get comfortable racing again. Lap times don’t matter so much, it is all about getting out there and experiencing racing. The Supermoto machines joined in for the weekend, and had a bit of a chance to play on the mixed road/dirt circuit in both wet and dry conditions. It was a weekend for all.
As with the introductory round held in 2016, the most encouraging part of the weekend for the PMCC Bracket Racing 2017 hosts was the pathway that has been created for track day riders and racing enthusiasts to step into our beloved sport. Bracket Racing has given people the opportunity to have a taste of racing, without a lot of the pressure that comes with committing to a series, without any racing experience behind them. There is an open track day the day before each of the four rounds, where coaching is provided for those wanting to get their eye in, as well as getting some good advice before lining up on the grid.
It was great to see some of the regular attendees at the MV Girls Only Track Days take the plunge and mix it up with the boys in the three qualifying sessions and five races. It is a lot of track time in a day, and those ladies were surprising themselves, and the competition with the improvements they were making.
