The Manton Park race track was opened in 2023.

Located just outside Townsville, up in the far north of Queensland, this project has been a long time coming and a major step in providing proper track facilitaties for the folk up there.

In this episode Jorge talks about his recent experience riding that track on a BMW S1000RR. The track might still be considered to be 'green' having only been used a small number of times. As Jorge says, it is definitely the smoothest asphalt track he has ever ridden on.

A highly technical track that runs clockwise for around 2.7 kilometres, the track presents an "interesting puzzle" for the serious rider wanting to go fast.

The Road Racing Association of Townsville (RRAT), runs the motorcycle events at this track and as Jorge says, put on a perfect, professionally run weekend event that gave him the opportunity to go and take a look, get a feel for it, meet people from the club, and open the throttle fully on the beemer.
