Harrison Voight Clinches 2026 ASBK Title at Queensland Raceway

He secured the championship by finishing second in the opener and then withdrew from the rain-hit second race to prioritise his Moto2 programme, highlighting calendar pressure on riders.

Overview

  • Voight wrapped up the five-round Penrite Australian Superbike Championship by finishing second in the opening 16-lap Superbike race at Queensland Raceway, a result that made his lead unassailable on Sunday, June 28.
  • Cru Halliday took pole and won Race 1 while Voight set a new lap record during his charge, and Josh Waters finished the weekend runner-up in the title standings.
  • Voight elected not to race the wet Race 2 because of his upcoming European Moto2 commitment, and veteran Glenn Allerton won the rain-affected second race.
  • Wet conditions and a late red flag in the Supersport/Next Gen finale decided several class titles, with Jake Farnsworth claiming Supersport, Tom Edwards winning the inaugural Supersport Next Gen crown, and Tyler King securing Supersport 300.
  • The final Superbike standings read Voight 218 points, Waters 208 and Halliday 177, and Voight’s triumph at age 20 makes him the second-youngest modern-era champion while underscoring the tug between national series and international programmes.
