CHAMPIONSHIP SEASON

The Aeroflow Sportsman Championship will be contested over all nominated rounds, with the Grand Final held at the Winternationals.

Group 3 

• A racer’s Championship Total going into the Winternationals is the sum of their best 6 point scoring rounds from the season.

• Qualifying points for Super Comp and Performance Bike: 5pts #1, 4pts #2, 3pts #3, 2pts #4, 1pt #5 qualifier.
