The ARRC contingent will next hop down to Adelaide, Australia where the championship is scheduled to become the first international motorcycle racing event to be held at the brand new The Bend Motorsports Park.

The highly anticipated double-bill with the Australian Superbike Championship (ASBK) will be a four day bike extravaganza taking place from April 19 to 22, 2018.
