Update: A new start time of 17:15 local time - ♈06:15 UK time has been confirmed by WorldSBK ⭕officials.

Race 2 oꦍf the Phillip Island WorldSBK r🌠ound was delayed by over an hour due to track conditions concerns.

Considerable work by t✤꧂he marshals was carried out in a bid to improve the conditions of the track.

Oil🀅 and fluid at turn two was the cause of the delay.
