The Penrite ProMX Championship presented by AMX Superstores (ProMX) will take on new pastures in 2025 with round six to be held in Nowra (NSW) on Sunday, July 6.
The one-day round will be held on the 1.7km motocross track within the massive 1000-acre Nowra Motoplex expanse, which also includes over 20km of bush trails.
The motocross track has a sandy loam surface which is professionally maintained and groomed and, with large jumps, long straights and a combination of fast and slow corners, there’s something for all tastes.
However, the track requires maximum focus to produce consistently fast laps – and one where it’s easy to lose time but hard to make it up.
It's a captivating recipe for a huge and intriguing mid-season round as the Nowra Motoplex marks its return to national-level motocross for the first time since 2017 when multiple Aussie champion Dean Ferris was the overall winner in MX1 ahead of Brett Metcalfe and Kirk Gibbs.
The round will be run by the Nowra and Districts Motorcycle Club, with Nowra Motoplex located in Braidwood Road, Yerriyong – just across the road from the HMAS Albatross Naval Base.
The balance of the 2025 ProMX Championship calendar will be announced early next week, as well as the composition of classes at each round.
“It’s great to see Nowra on the 2025 calendar as we welcome new tracks into the ProMX fold,” said Motorcycling Australia CEO, Peter Doyle. “With the return of Appin already announced, two rounds of the 2025 ProMX will be held in New South Wales on tracks that we know will showcase the incredibly huge depth of talent across all classes in the championship. Thanks to the Nowra and Districts Motorcycle Club for its assistance in bringing ProMX back to the Nowra district, where motocross has always enjoyed a strong presence.”
The Penrite ProMX Championship presented by AMX Superstores (ProMX) will continue its relationship with the much-loved Gillman track in 2025, which will host round three on Sunday, April 27.
Located just a 20-minute drive north of Adelaide’s CBD, Gillman's sandy loam and numerous man-made jumps make it a favourite for riders, which has been reflected in consistently brilliant racing since the track first joined the ProMX Championship in 2022.
Earlier this year, Kyle Webster (Honda) and Jed Beaton (Yamaha) traded blows across two blockbuster Thor MX1 races, with their intense rivalry continuing all the way to the end of the championship.
The action was also delivered thick and fast in the other classes on the vast 1.98km, 17-turn layout, where lap times for the fastest riders are over two minutes and the average speed is well over 80km/h. The Gillman round will again be run by the Motocross Riders Association.
Gillman joins Wonthaggi, Appin and Warwick as the other venues already locked in for 2025 ProMX hosting, with further calendar announcements to be made in coming days.
“Gillman is one of the best motocross tracks in the country, so it’s only fitting that it continues as one of the jewels in the ProMX calendar into 2025,” said Motorcycling Australia CEO, Peter Doyle. “The excitement at Gillman starts with the long start straight, while the huge variety of jumps and turns is a great leveller, bringing out the strengths and weaknesses across all competitors. I’d also like to thank the Motocross Riders Association for continuing to work with the ProMX team to deliver national-level motocross to South Australia.”
