The Australian team is in an excellent position to stop the Brits with a strong line-up announced for the 2018 AMCN International Island Classic’s International Challenge.

Leading the team of talented riders will be two-time World Superbike champ Troy Corser (Honda Harris F1). On announcing his involvement, he said: “Everyone tells me the Island Classic is a great event so with it being the 25th anniversary, it feels like a good time to come back and give it a go.”

The Aussie team will be bolstered by former and current Isle of Man TT regulars Cam Donald (Irving Vincent) and David Johnson (Ducati 750 Imola). AMCN test rider and former World Endurance champ Steve Martin (1294cc Suzuki Katana) will be in the mix again, along with Aussie legend Shawn Giles (1294cc Suzuki Katana), historic specialist Beau Beaton (Irving Vincent), son of Mr Superbike Alex Phillis (Suzuki XR69), Paul Byrne (McIntosh Suzuki) and Scott Webster (Suzuki Harris).
