Australian Superbike Championship promoter International Entertainment Group (IEG) has announced that competitors entering the second round of the 2011 series at Symmons Plains will receive Thursday practice free of charge, as well as free freight to the event.

Set to be held on 3-6 March at the technical Tasmanian circuit, the extra incentives for riders to participate at Symmons Plains have been made possible due to support from Events Tasmania.

“Providing free freight will ensure the championship remains as accessible as possible for riders with limited budgets and having an extra practice day will provide riders with the track time to fine-tune their skills and setup,” said IEG managing director Yarrive Konsky.

Competitors and teams that have already submitted an entry form and nominated to practice on the Thursday will not have the fee deducted from their payments.

The Symmons Plains event is set to attract in excess of 120 entries across all five classes, with the majority of these competitors requiring both land and sea transport.
