Best MotoGP™ viewing spots at Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit

Planning your MotoGP™ weekend at Phillip Island?
One of the most common questions we hear is:
“Where are the best viewing spots with an Island Pass ticket?”

Good news, we’ve got you covered.

We’ve rounded up the top fan-favourite locations around the circuit to help you soak up the action and make the most of your race weekend.

Turn 1: Doohan Corner

Arguably the most popular viewing spot on the circuit and for good reason. Named after Aussie legend Mick Doohan, this corner gives you an incredible view of the bikes charging down Gardner Straight before diving into the fast right-hander at Turn 1.

The best part? You’re incredibly close to the action. As the bikes decelerate and tip in, it feels like you could almost reach out and touch them. Plus, it’s just a short walk from the main hub for food, drinks, and merchandise alongside Gardner Straight.

Turn 6: Siberia

This one’s a bit of a trek, but absolutely worth it if you’re up for the walk. Siberia is a fan-favourite for its often chilly but incredible view. 

While there’s a grandstand nearby, Island Pass holders can still enjoy the nearby grassy hillside that offers a great vantage point. 

The atmosphere here is electric and often attracts the most hardcore MotoGP™ fans.

Turns 7 & 8: Hayshed

If high-speed action is what you’re after, Hayshed is a must-visit. Located on the back section of the circuit, this fast left-right combo sees riders flicking through at full throttle.

It's a great place to set up and soak in the speed.

Turn 11: Near Lukey Heights

Turn 11 is a hidden gem for those who love watching riders push the limits. After cresting the blind rise at Lukey Heights, bikes plunge downhill into this fast right-hander, setting up the final run onto Gardner Straight.

From the nearby viewing areas, you’ll catch riders on the edge as they try to nail the perfect line. 

Gardner Straight

Want to see the bikes at full speed? Gardner Straight is the place to be. It’s the fastest part of the circuit and puts you right next to all the big activations, bars, food outlets, and merchandise stalls.

Most fans gather near the start of the straight, watching from the fence line as the bikes thunder past. It’s a great spot to soak up the atmosphere and stay close to all the off-track action.
