The 12-round 2022 Yamaha Australian Off-Road Championship (AORC) calendar is now complete, the final dates and location now locked in which will see the season-opening rounds at Cherrabah, Queensland, from 19-20 March.

Mackay will then host rounds three and four before the season meets the halfway point at Kyogle in New South Wales for rounds five and six, followed by South Australia’s Kingston SE for rounds seven and eight.
