The search for a new home for the event has been led by Melbourne-based PSE (Paul Sergeant Events) and Motorcycling Australia, who have joined forces with series rights holders BSI Speedway.

Stage one of the three stage process was open to all tracks and interested venues across the country with the first stage closing on 13 April. A final further stage of the submission process is now underway with further updates expected at the end of August.

Submissions from venues Adelaide Showgrounds and Ipswich Motorsport Park are under consideration for a potential Australian event from 2019 onwards, as efforts continue to bring the world’s top speedway stars back Down Under for future years.

This year’s FIM Speedway Grand Prix series will conclude with the Torun FIM Speedway Grand Prix of Poland on October 7.
