Yamaha to continue 60th celebrations at 2015 MX Nats finale

The touring road show will set up in the Coolum pits, with the Yamaha Racing teams getting into the act with the retro look of their race machines - the CDR, Serco and GYTR Yamahas will all be turning yellow in honour of the 60th anniversary.

 

The retro-style speedblock livery has swept through Europe and the USA and it's now Australia's turn, so there's no better time or occasion than the final round of the MX Nats - with a big crowd on hand and a great atmosphere at Coolum - to not only check out the special yellow Yamahas, but also all the other 60th Anniversary celebrations.

 

Yamaha's travelling road show will bring a cargo load full of Yamaha history. In the display are a range of classic production bikes from Yamaha as well as some legendary race machines that will have spectators travelling down memory lane.

 

 

In the lead up to the Round 10 finale, Yamaha riders are well placed in all classes. CDR Yamaha's Kade Mosig sits in second place overall in the MX1 class, with DPH Yamaha's Lawson Bopping fifth and CDR Yamaha's Dan Reardon sixth.

 

In the MX2 division, JCR Yamaha's Jay Wilson carries a 21 point lead over Serco Yamaha's Luke Clout. Clout's team mate, Jed Beaton, sits in fourth and Yamaha Queensland's Wade Hunter is sixth.

 

GYTR Yamaha's Wilson Todd leads the MXD division by 22 points, while in the MXR (MX Rookies) class, Yamaha Junior Racing's Hunter Lawrence is the man to beat.

 

The final round of the MX Nationals fires into life this Saturday, August 29, at the Coolum Pines circuit on the Sunshine Coast, with Saturday's program including practise and qualifying for the three championship classes, as well as the young chargers of the MX Rookies. Sunday will see the 2015 MX Nationals champions crowned, with some classes expected to go right down the final race of the season.

 

The Coolum Pines MX track is located on Quanda Road, Coolum Beach - approximately 15kms north of Mooloolaba on the Sunshine Coast. Action gets underway at 8.30am on both days and tickets are available at the gate.
