The foundation of a massive 2024 Penrite ProMX Championship presented by AMX Superstores (ProMX) has taken shape, with the famed Wonthaggi circuit in regional Victoria to again kickstart proceedings for the nation’s premier motocross title.

All attention will turn to Wonthaggi on Sunday, March 17 as the complex hosts the ProMX opener for the fourth successive year with support from returning sponsors Bass Coast Shire Council and Destination Gippsland.

Like the start of every ProMX campaign, the anticipation will be palpable as the pre-season morphs into the heat of intense battle to become an Aussie motocross champion.

Wonthaggi has not only become one of the blue-chip rounds of the ProMX Championship because of its spectacular layout, but the picturesque surrounds and wide-ranging hospitality and service options across the region help to make it one of the most accommodating venues on the calendar.

The Dandenong Motorcycle Club-run Wonthaggi event on March 17 will be the start of an eight-round ProMX Championship in 2024, which will conclude in August.

Further announcements on the 2024 calendar will be made in coming weeks, as well as the class composition at each round.

Motorcycling Australia CEO Peter Doyle:
“We’re looking forward to an even bigger year for ProMX in 2024, and starting the championship in Wonthaggi will provide an ideal platform to make that happen.

“The rapid growth of the ProMX Championship since its inception is testament to the tireless and determined efforts of so many, which is why it’s held in such high regard domestically and internationally. And the Dandenong Motorcycle Club is an example of how to breed success with its unwavering commitment to the Wonthaggi opener.

“The start of any Australian championship is always exciting, and I expect Wonthaggi to be the same vein as the best motocrossers in the country get to work. Definitely a must-see event on the national calendar, and a big thank you to Bass Coast Shire Council and Destination Gippsland for help making it happen.”

Bass Coast Shire Council Acting CEO, James Stirton:
“We are immensely proud to partner with Motorcycling Australia and Destination Gippsland to bring the ProMX Championship back to Wonthaggi.

“The Wonthaggi motocross track is an ideal venue for elite motocross action and it’s great to see major events return year after year. We look forward to welcoming competitors and fans to explore what our amazing Bass Coast region has to offer.”
