The Historic Competitio­n Motorcycle Club of WA has announced that Making Smoking History will be the naming rights sponsor for the 2019 Australian Historic Road racing Championsh­ip from September 27-30th. The prestigiou­s event will take place on the brand new circuit at Collie Motorplex, two and a half hours south of Perth. The new track, which has taken the lap from 1.6km to 2.55km, has been built at a cost of $2.57 million which includes a new footbridge and improvemen­ts to spectator facilities. The new track was approved for racing by Motorcycli­ng Australia on May 14th, with resurfacin­g to the original layout in addition to the extension. This now makes Collie the longest and widest motorcycle racing track in Western Australia.
