FXRRC Eastern Creek June 16-17th Race Meeting Now On The New 4.5 Kilometre Long Track
Want to be the first motorcycle racers to compete on the new 4.5 kilometre track at Eastern Creek Raceway?
If the answer is yes then here’s your chance as the upcoming Formula Xtreme Road Racing Club (FXRRC) race meeting that is only three weeks away will now take place on the brand new expanded 4.5 kilometre long track instead of the existing 3.93 km track.
This will be the first ever motorcycle race meeting on the new track long track and will be the only race meeting for bikes on it for modern bikes until the series finale of the AFX-SBK championship series on the weekend of 10th-11th November.
These FXRRC race meetings are not rounds of the AFX-SBK series, they are stand alone club level race events that are low key fun race meetings that cater for all grades of competitors, not just A or B graders.
Because the circuit is so much longer and laptimes are unknown we can only go on laptimes based on the recent circuit opening so we have gone back and completely rewritten the schedule, so that it fits into the available daylight limitations one has in June.
Saturday schedule.
All classes will receive 5 x 15 minute scheduled sessions. If all things go smoothly and we have spare time at the end of the day we will run an extra A&B and a extra C&D grade session.
Sunday Qualifying.
All classes will receive 1 x 13 minute qualifying session
Sunday Race Schedule.
The newly revised Sunday schedule will be as follows;
As the new circuit is 4.5 kilometres long there will be a combined single warm up and sighting lap.
1000 cc - A/B & C/D.... 2 x 4 lap races – 1x5 lap race – 1x5 lap(f)*

All competitors will be eligible to enter the separate A&B and C&D grade feature races (f)*.
C/D Grade Feature Race – 1 x 5 lap race
A/B Grade Feature Race – 1 x 5 lap race
The first race on Sunday will be as per the original schedule a ‘Novice Race’ for riders who are relatively new to racing or have only entered a Race Your Mates meeting. Please contact us to see if you are eligible.
Novice Race - 1 x 4 lap race
What does the above revised schedule mean competitors will get? Each competitor if they also do the Feature race will be eligible for four(4) races on Sunday plus one qualifying session. On Saturday competitors are scheduled to get 5 x 15 minute sessions. Competitors who are new to the sport will also be eligible to take part in a Novice race.
So over the two days competitors will be eligible to receive ten sessions made up of practise session, qualifying and races.
Airfence
We have been asked this previously over the last few weeks, so for everyone’s information we will be erecting the AFX-SBK series airfence at this EC FXRRC round at quite a number of points around the track for both Saturday and Sunday of this event.
Practise Embargo
Please also be aware there is no practise embargo on the FXRRC rounds in the week leading up to the event.
