Phillip Island confirmed as 2022 WorldSBK final round

Australia’s Phillip Island has this morning been confirmed as the venue for the final round of this year’s WorldSBK series.

The 2022 season will conclude on November 20 with the only double header of the year, as the Australian Round will take place just one week after the Indonesian event.

It will be the first time since 2010 that the WorldSBK season has finished with back-to-back rounds, and the 11th time in the Championship’s history.

The iconic circuit has featured on the WorldSBK calendar every year since 1990, aside from 1993 and last year due to the pandemic and has hosted the highest number of WorldSBK races (61).

Phillip Island is now back on the calendar for 2022 and the whole WorldSBK paddock looks forward to returning to Australia for what promises to be a thrilling season finale. It will be the fourth time in the Championship’s 35-year history that Phillip Island welcomes the season finale; the last time being in 1996.

Beyond 2022, it is expected that the Australian round will go back to its traditional slot in the calendar as the season opener.
