Voight Clinches 2026 ASBK Superbike Title at Queensland Raceway

The title-winning podium underscores Voight’s shift toward a European Moto2 program.

Overview

  • Harrison Voight secured the 2026 Penrite Australian Superbike Championship by finishing second in the opening 16-lap race at Queensland Raceway, a result that made his points lead insurmountable.
  • Cru Halliday took pole with a 1:06.858 and won race one, while Voight set a new race lap record of 1:07.093 on lap three as he moved into second place.
  • Faced with a wet track for race two, Voight elected not to start, a choice his team linked to both safety concerns in the conditions and his upcoming European Moto2 commitments.
  • Veteran Glenn Allerton capitalised on the rain and late-race charge to win the wet second race, his 28th Superbike victory, with Olly Simpson runner-up and Mike Jones third.
  • Final SW-Motech Superbike standings were Voight 218 points, Josh Waters 208 and Cru Halliday 177, with Voight becoming the second-youngest ASBK Superbike champion in the modern era and now poised to balance national success with international advancement.
