Australian Superbike Series | Round 2

Round 2 of the 2010 Australia Superbike series saw Team Suzuki's defending champion Josh Waters once again dominate the field on his GSXR 1000 after confidently recording the quickest practice laps on Friday to pull pole position for the Saturday session he stormed to a convincing win on the wet track.

Darwin's unseasonal lingering wet weather poured down just prior to the start of race 1 and made conditions difficult with many riders crashing during the course of the race, but the weather cleared in time for race 2 which ended with Waters crossing the line three seconds ahead Bryan Staring.

Waters has had nothing less than praise for Team Suzuki and has been enthusiastic about the performance and handling of the bike.

Some of the HighRPM crew joined the crowd of almost 5000 others at the Hidden Valley venue on both Saturday and Sunday sessions to take in the event atmosphere. Our own presenter Christine Watts was also on hand promoting Team KTM on both days as well as providing other teams with local promoters.

HighRPM Australia in the spotlight

Australian based project HighRPM is getting the gears rolling this year, literally. Aimed at the local motorsports scene in the Northern Territory the team aims to help the motoring community expose the enthusiasm and quality that exists by the bucketload but is rarely highlighted enough by the media.

Originally intended mostly for the web market with traditional website and forums focused mainly on local content the development team has also embraced the opportunity for airtime on digital television, encouraged by the realisation that video media is the best way to capture such a range of fast and dynamic sports.

With a four person presenting team made up of local identities from the Darwin area and a talented development team working behind the scenes they intend initially on bringing featurette style articles to the public alongside their web platforms. This is shaping up to be a great concept for local motorsports in general and considering the amount of local interest it is generating will have plenty of support to get going.

Zerolizard Media put together a behind the scenes look at the media teams first presenter promo shoot at Hidden Valley Raceway in Darwin just last month (below).
