MotoGP Phillip Island 3-5 October 2008

Three former premier class stars will be riding once more at the Australian Grand Prix weekend. Mick Doohan, Wayne Gardner and Randy Mamola will undertake a series of demonstration laps at Phillip Island.

Doohan and Gardner will be on a Honda CBR10000RR Fireblade, whilst Mamola will be on a Ducati.

Casey Stoner´s MotoGP World Championship win in 2007 has created unprecedented interest in the 2008 Australian Grand Prix, with tickets being snapped up rapidly by committed fans eager not to miss out on the action at Phillip Island from 3rd-5th October.

The strong early ticket sales come hot on the heels of a record year for the Australian leg of the MotoGP World Championship last year, with more than 115,000 flocking to Phillip Island in 2007 – an increase of 23 per cent on the 2006 crowd.
