Josh Coppins Tour

Posted: Wed 10 Jan 2001

An official tour of Josh Coppins supporters will venture across the Tasman to the Australian Grand Prix this Easter.

The group of 48 fans will spend three days in specially-arranged corporate hospitality trackside at Broadford, north of Melbourne, scene of the only GP in the southern hemisphere this summer.

Linked with Coppins\' top-rated Suzuki Corona factory team, the tour group marks the historic first year of triple-header grands prix, with the 250 class supported by 125 and 500 championship events.

The 6-day tour is based on the successful similar trips for world superbike supporters to Phillip Island south of Melbourne. That tour is also going ahead this year, even though it is not yet confirmed whether Kiwi hero Aaron Slight will be racing.

A double-header tour of 14 days covers the two events, which fortuitously fall a week apart.

Fans can contact Josh Coppins\' personal manager Ian Miles on this email and at PO Box 4040, Christchurch 8015.
