Australian HPV Super Series

Updates during the races at Adelaide and Murray Bridge are live streamed on the AHPVSS Facebook and YouTube pages.

In 1985, what would become the inaugural Pedal Prix race was held in the car park of what was at the time the Underdale Campus of the University of South Australia on Holbrooks Road.

This event marks the start of the Australian HPV Super Series and at the time it generated tremendous interest.

The wider, flatter track saw records for the distance travelled in the 24 hour endurance race increase.

In 2014, a street circuit in Loxton, South Australia was introduced as the new opening race of a four-race championship.

the Adelaide 6 hour was held on a shorter course due to the covid testing clinic at Victoria Park.

The 2022 season saw all races held for the first time since covid with only the Adelaide 6 hour being split between 2 days.

The 2023 season saw the addition of the main sponsor University of South Australia entering the races with their trike Evo.

All races where held this season, and the Victoria Park long track came back into play for the first time since COVID-19.

Late in 2012 it was confirmed by the Adelaide City Council that the redevelopment of Victoria Park had been given the green light.

The redevelopment now includes an extension to the short track to take it past the heritage grandstand present on the site.

Since 2014 it has been a 6 hour race, but the Busselton City Council is in talks with the AIPP about the possibility of holding a 24 hour event.The Australian HPV Super Series concludes in September with what is considered to be the premier HPV event in the country, the 24-hour, final race at Sturt Reserve in Murray Bridge.

During the first race at Murray Bridge in 1997, the track followed the roads that bordered Sturt Reserve in a closed circuit.

In 2000, the Northern Hairpin along Olympic Drive and Janesh Road was added, lengthening the track by 366 metres.

In 2004 the corner leading up to the main straight was transformed to its current shape (shortening the track by 40m).

In 2016, the track was shortened to its current form, by-passing the Northern Hairpin due to the mills on that section of Janesh Road having to remain open during the event.

Special Note Bendigo Youth Racings victory over Team Ballistic was the closest in the events history with only 10 seconds separating them after 24 hours.

Special Note Due to the mill now operating during the race, a different track was used, removing the hairpin at the north of the course.

Due to the rulebook being unclear for the eligibility of category 3 riders, the rule could be interpreted both ways which subsequently led to the disqualification of both Trisled and GTrikes.

The official ruling pointed this out - "Neither Team 22 (Trisled) nor 316 (GTrikes) has sought to gain an unfair advantage.
