If you're a racer who wants to share the paddock and racetrack with the likes of Australian World Superbike Champion Troy Bayliss, Motorcycling Australia is giving six lucky riders the chance of a wildcard entry for the Australian Round of the World Superbike and Supersport series, to be held at Phillip Island on 2-4 March 2007.

There are four Superbike and two Supersport wildcards available to Australian competitors who meet the criteria. As part of the wildcard, MA covers the cost of an FIM licence and insurance.

But you've gotta be quick- Wildcard applications close on December 18, 2006, with approvals announced in January next year.

The details and an application form can be found at MA's website: www.ma.org.au or direct link
