ProMX
The ProMX Motocross Championship (known for sponsorship reasons as the Penrite ProMX Motocross Championship), is the premier Australian Motocross series, sanctioned by Motorcycling Australia. The series runs throughout autumn and winter, before the Supercross stadium series in spring, and features three classes; the premier class MX1, MX2, and MX3, which also features junior riders.[1] An MXW class for women is also part of the series.
History
The series has been held under various names, such as the MX Nationals and Australian Motocross Championship, since the 20th century.[2]
The ProMX series began in 2021, however this season was cut short by the COVID-19 pandemic. [3]
The series returned in 2022, with eight rounds across the country.
Attendance and Media
Attendance
Races are typically attended by crowds between 3000 and 5000 people, depending on where the event is being staged and which classes are competing. Many venues are located in regional centres, where the sport tends to be more popular due to the terrain being more friendly to the sport.[4]
