Series promotions manager
Colin Robbins stated, "The Yamaha Victorian Off Road championship has increased in numbers
participating steadily over the past 3 years. Our long term major sponsor in Yamaha has been supporting us now for
over 30 continuous years. Over the past two years we have gained the support of many other second tier sponsors in
Motul, Thor, Michelin, Scott, Tag, Alpine Star, Reikon, Gorilla Grips, Camelbak and Ferodo who have now become an
integral part of the championship. The Victorian Enduro Committee has embarked on a 4 year plan to introduce
transponders to all competing riders within 4 years. All our sponsors have seen the direction we are heading and
are encouraged by the foresight of the committee. They have all adopted this direction and have thrown their support
in term of funds and products behind our vision."
The 12 round championship has been scheduled in between the National Off Road Series, the Finke Desert Race, the
Australian 4 Day enduro, the indoor enduro cross and this years the International Six Day Enduro to be held in New Zealand.
The championship includes some junior only enduros on private property where by juniors are introduced to the same
timing and scoring system used by the senior riders.
The series kicks off at Ballarat on 5th March 2006 and after 12 gruelling rounds concludes at Foster on 10th September 2006.
