Australia MX National dates released
Saturday 21 January: New venues, new timing partner and a new logo have been revealed for the 10 round 2012 MX Nationals. No overlap or clash with NZ's 4 rounds which finish at Taupo on Sunday 18 March.
Williams Event Management has announced the venues that will make up
the 10-round MX Nationals, Australian Motocross Championship, in 2012, spanning across five
states for this year as the series returns to Western Australia.
Kevin Williams - WEM: "We are very excited with the venues for the 2012 championship
series, the two TBA venues will be
finalised within the next two weeks. With the addition of
new teams and the increase in trucks (now over 20 transporters), we are
making sure we have room in the paddock for all the trucks. WEM will release the official formats for the 2012 series on Monday, 23 January."
TAG Heuer has also been annnouced as the Official Watch and Timing Partner for the next three years. Riders will be fitting brand new TAG Heuer transponders to their bikes
and WEM will use TAG Heuer Track Intelligence to manage the timing and
rider registration for the series. In addition, the MX1 (Pro
Open) Championship winner will be awarded with a TAG Heuer watch each
year over the three-year agreement.
Aaron Clarke - MD of Event Timing: "As well as offering
competitors and spectators our full suite of on-day and on-line
registration tools, live accurate results, detailed lap reports and
historical rider data, we'll also have a chance to implement the latest
TAG Heuer FIM certified transponder and Track Intelligence software for
the first time in Australia – something we're all excited about."
