The AUSX Open is returning to Australia this year and the event just got a massive boast. Both Hunter and Jett Lawrence have confirmed they will race the event when it returns to Marvel Stadium on November 30, 2024.
“It was a special moment for me when I made my Supercross pro debut at the AUSX Open in 2019 and I am well overdue to race at home in front of the Aussie fans who have supported us so much in our journey. We made a few calls and are ecstatic to see it come (back) to life,” said Jett.
“We’ve been lucky to have had so much support from Australia throughout our racing careers and have wanted to go back and race at home for a while. This year, finally, we have been able to make it happen and we’re especially excited to do it by bringing back an iconic event like the AUSX Open. I can’t wait to see all the fans going wild in Marvel Stadium – it’s going to be huge,” said Hunter.
The massive Supercross event in Australia was last held in 2019. It will serve as the fifth and final round of the Australian Supercross Championship this year.
AUSX Open Motorsport & Strategic Adviser, Eric Peronnard stressed the impact that Jett and Hunter will have on the event, and what it will mean to fans.
“In a Supercross world dominated by the Lawrence brothers, having these two prodigies attend and race the rebooted AUSX Open, is a phenomenal outcome for the event,” said Peronnard.
“After five incredible years in Europe and the US, Jett and Hunter are ready to celebrate their many victories and the Aussie fans who have supported them from day one.
“Jett has obviously been dominating and Hunter has made a significant impact in the 450 class, which will make for fantastic fan viewing as they battle it out on home soil, at world-class Marvel stadium. Today is a good day to be a supercross fan in Australia.”
