Decorated Victorian venue Wonthaggi will continue as round one of the Penrite ProMX Championship in 2026, marking its sixth-straight season as the season-opener.

The opening round of next season had already been confirmed for March 21-22 in a two-day fixture, with Wonthaggi now confirmed as the location once again.

“We’re again delighted to be beginning a new ProMX season in Wonthaggi, at a track that delivers perennially exciting racing in a beautiful part of Victoria,” commented Peter Doyle, Motorcycling Australia (MA) CEO.

“Thanks to Bass Coast Shire Council for its tireless support of the ProMX round in Wonthaggi, an enduring partnership that helps us deliver a world-class event to the region.

“The Bass Coast region also produces some exceptional motocross talent, including Kyle Webster who has been an integral part of Australia’s FIM Motocross of Nations-winning teams over the last two years.

“We’d love to see not only Bass Coast people converge on Wonthaggi to support the home-shire hero as he begins the defence of the MX1 title, but also welcome visitors from other parts of Victoria and interstate. It’s going to be an electric weekend of racing to kick off another season for Australia’s premier motocross series.”

The 2026 ProMX series will be contested over eight rounds, with additional announcements due from MA to further establish the schedule over the course of the coming weeks.
