A DATE change has belatedly been passed for the 2026 edition of the Island Magic event.<\/p>\n

The Phillip Island fixture had become embroiled in a calendar clash following a decision to bring Supercars\u2019 Adelaide Grand Final forward by a week<\/a> to November 26-29.<\/p>\n

Phillip Island long appeared reluctant to make a change of its own<\/a> to avoid the unexpected clash \u2013 something which led to Island Magic losing the Trans Am season finale<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Although it seems no such announcements have been forthcoming via social media platforms, the Phillip Island Auto Racing Club now lists the event as being held across November 20-22.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

That tallies with the dates now conveyed by Radical Cup Australia for its Phillip Island finale.<\/p>\n

Radical Cup had previously confirmed only the first four rounds of its 2026 calendar, at The Bend Motorsport Park (May 1-3), Queensland Raceway (June 12-14), Wanneroo Raceway (July 31-August 2) and Sydney Motorsport Park (September 18-20).<\/p>\n

Radical Cup has also today announced ex-Porsche Motorsport Australia staffer Laura Tullier as its new category manager.<\/p>\n

Phillip Island, which has lost MotoGP beyond this year, hosted its 2026 Classic on the weekend.<\/p>\n
