100 Years of Ducati: Free Historic Motorbike Racing Near Brisbane

As transporters roll in from South Australia, Victoria, New South Wales, and right across Queensland, the stage is set at Morgan Park Raceway for one of the most revered grassroots gatherings on the national calendar: the 2026 Queensland Historic Motorcycle Road Race Championships.

Organized by the Queensland Early Motorcycle Sports Club (QEMSC) and presented by MRU Motorcycles 'R' Us, this year’s event carries significant historical weight as the paddock unites to celebrate 100 Years of Ducati Motorcycles. From iconic bevel-drive twins to rare single-cylinder racers, the gathering transforms the Warwick circuit into a living, breathing archive operating at wide-open throttle.

Action begins Tuesday, September 8, with initial qualifying, setting up two solid days of aggressive, wheel-to-wheel racing across Wednesday and Thursday. Official event imagery reveals the raw intensity heading to the track—most notably in the sidecar divisions, where passengers hang inches from the tarmac to balance high-speed chassis movement through Morgan Park’s technical turns.

In an era of rising ticket prices, QEMSC continues to defend the pure spirit of Australian motorsport by opening the gates with zero spectator entry fees. Fans gain direct, unbridled access to the paddock to experience the authentic sights, sounds, and mechanical character that forged motorcycle racing heritage.
