How often does Phillip Island's hosting contract actually get renewed?
Having actually been there myself, that location is just utterly one of a kind.
Footage of riding that seaside corner is one of the standout scenes in all of MotoGP.
It just says concerns are growing, so you can't tell from the article alone what the actual problem is.
There's probably a hosting contract and facility investment angle involved, but I'd want the details.
A sea-view layout like that is one of a kind even globally, so losing it would be a loss for the whole industry.
Hearing Phillip Island's future is in jeopardy makes you feel a bit sad.
