2013 is shaping up for the FX 600 class competitors to be the best
year in the history of the Australian FX-Superbike Championship.
Why? For a start apart from the chance of becoming the first
competitor in the post Kev Curtain era to become the Australian FX 600
Champion, there will also be all new motorcycle prizes and all
competitors in the FX 600 class will get to share in the country’s best
announced TV coverage for any class in motorcycle road racing today.
First off, there are all new road registrable series bike prizes in
2013 for eligible privateers in both C and D grade, the C grade FX 600
Champion at the end of the series will win a brand new Yamaha WR450F and
the D grade FX 600 champion will win a WR250F.
The FX 600 class isn’t just about bike prizes and Australian
championships though, everyone knows television exposure is what creates
general public interest and sponsorship opportunities for any class in
motorsport and the FX 600 class is right up there per round with its own
one hour free to air coverage on Sunday afternoons on Australia’s most
widely shown weekly motorsport show SBS Speedweek. Plus to top that off
the FX 600 competitors will also get one hour per round on FOX SPEED TV
equaling the TV coverage the premier FX-Superbike class will get in
2013.
Add in the Dunlop contingency tyre prizes of one set each of control
slicks per top placed privateer A grader, top placed B grader and top
placed combined C /D grader per round and there is even more reason for
competing in the class.
With no expensive major technical rule changes for 2013 and the
series remaining a six round east coast based championship the FX 600
class is easily the most affordable, level playing field and winnable
high profile 600 class in the country by far. Add in the unequalled TV
exposure, the great bike prizes, the tyre contingency prizes and there
are plenty of excellent reasons for racing in the FX 600 class this
year.
Plus remember any competitor who competes in at least three rounds in
any class of the 2013 Australian FX-Superbike Championship, including
the FX 600 class, automatically become eligible to enter the season
ending $100,000 winner takes all FX-Superbike 500 Endurance race on
Saturday the 16th November.
