The Demolition Plus team of Gareth Jones, Craig Coxhell and Russell Holland won last year's 6 Hour.

The Bel Ray 6 Hour Endurance Race has officially been awarded Australian championship status for 2010, the event set to be staged on 3-5 December at the world famous Phillip Island Circuit in Victoria.

Consisting of 40 teams, the endurance championship classes will include Superstock 1000, Superstock 600, Production 1000 and Production 600, with last year’s race won outright by team Demolition Plus with Craig Coxhell, Russell Holland and Gareth Jones.

The weekend will also play host to several support classes including the Motorcycle Road Race Development Association (MRRDA), British European and American Racing (BEARS) and a proposed round of the 2010 Australian Road Racing Sidecar Championship.

Event promoter James Spence is thrilled this event had been awarded championship status by national governing body Motorcycling Australia.

“To have the Bel Ray 6hour granted Australian championship status in only its second year is a testament to the success of the event held at Oran Park last November,” Spence said. “We will be doing everything we can to make this year’s event at Phillip Island one of the largest and most successful weekends of the year.”

Supplementary Regulations in addition to class rules and the event schedule will be available to download from both the MA website at www.ma.org.au/roadracing and the event website at www.the6hour.com.au.
