A star-studded field will descend upon the hybrid New Holland SuperEnduro-X, powered by Monster Energy, circuit at the Clipsal 500 V8 Supercar event in Adelaide this weekend.

Featuring both off-road and supercross elements in this year’s SuperEnduro-X layout, event organisers have gathered a highly-talented list of off-road and supercross racers to contest the unique annual event.

Confirmed to contest the 2017 event is a who’s who of international racing including America’s Cody Webb, Mike Brown and Kyle Redmond, along with Laia Sanz, Tye Simmonds, Peter Boyle, Jesse Dobson, Ivan Long, Riley Graham, Robbie Marshall, Dylan Rees, Jacob Smith, Shane Metcalfe and Cheyne Boyd.

Brown, a former AMA motocross and supercross star and current off-road specialist, expressed his excitement to around his debut at the event aboard his Husqvarna FC 350 on the completely revised circuit.

“It’ll be fun, especially if they’re having the motocross guys here, they’ll be good at the jumps,” said Brown. “It’s going to be a good race because the enduro-cross part’s not super technical. It’s nice to be back, heck yeah, I’m super excited.”

Initially confirmed to contest the 2-5 March event, New Zealand’s Ben Townley recently withdrew from the rider roster and has now been replaced by Australian off-road ace Andy Wilksch.
