Phillip Island hosts final MotoGP race before Adelaide move in 2027
Phillip Island business operators and officials are preparing for the Grand Prix's last event at the track before it relocates to Adelaide in 2027.
Economic impact of the race
The Grand Prix and World Superbikes events inject approximately $80 million into the island's economy each year. Businesses, councillors, and the tourism board are calling for government support as the event concludes.
Community reaction to the change
Cowes and the broader island community face emotional and financial challenges following the decision to move the race. Local residents describe the atmosphere created by motorcycles arriving in convoy as a defining part of their summer season.
Future plans for the venue
The World Superbikes event will continue on the island in February after the MotoGP rounds end later this month. The track at Phillip Island will no longer host the Grand Prix starting from 2027.
