Lawrences Brothers - Home Coming
In a little over a month and just a couple of weeks after they will battle some of the best supercross riders in the World at the Paris supercross, in Europe, Jett and Hunter Lawrence will head back home, for the Aus X Open, set for November 20 at the World-famous Marvel Stadium.
With the 2024 AMA supercross championship, 2024 SMX championship and finally, the 2024 MXoN trophy in his possession, Jett Lawrence is the biggest global talent in the sport and his arrival back in Australia, is long awaited and there will be huge celebrations.
“It was a special moment for me when I made my Supercross pro debut at the AUSX Open in 2019,” Jett Lawrence said. “I am well overdue to race at home in front of the Aussie fans who have supported us so much in our journey. We made a few calls and are ecstatic to see it come (back) to life.”
In addition to being instrumental in the event’s comeback, the duo is set for a heroes’ homecoming with their long-awaited return to racing in their home country after five years of international racing success in Europe and the USA.
“We’ve been lucky to have had so much support from Australia throughout our racing careers,” Hunter Lawrence said. “We have wanted to go back and race at home for a while. This year, finally, we have been able to make it happen and we’re especially excited to do it by bringing back an iconic event like the AUSX Open. I can’t wait to see all the fans going wild in Marvel Stadium - it’s going to be huge.”
The most dominate siblings in supercross and motocross history will whip their Australian fans into a frenzy as they descend on Melbourne on their Honda CRF450RWE’s, hellbent to taste success in front of their home crowd for one night only.
The exciting news is a double whammy for Australian moto fans with the added surprise return of the country’s most popular Supercross event, as the AUSX Open, will form part of the FOX Australian Supercross Championship’s fifth and final round, at Marvel Stadium.
The last AUSX Open event was held in 2019, pre COVID, before the event was placed on hold indefinitely and saw more than 35,000 fans pack Marvel Stadium on the same day, November 30 for what was, and still is, the largest single day Supercross event held in the Southern Hemisphere. Jett made his professional Supercross debut at the event as a 16-year-old in the SX2 class.
Exactly 5-years later, the now 21-year-old Jett Lawrence – has earned some of the largest accolades in his sport. He is currently the 2024 Monster Energy AMA Supercross Championship 450SX Champion, 2023 and 2024 SuperMotocross World Champion, 2023 AMA Pro Motocross Championship 450 Champion and 2024 AMA 450SX Rookie of the Year and of course, the Monster Energy Motocross of Nations champion. He has amassed a staggering 8 class championships in the USA since 2020 and is already one of the most decorated athletes in the sports history.
His older brother Hunter, 24, who also helped Australian win their first ever Monster Energy Motocross of Nations championship, is hot on his heels having moved up to the 450 class this year with the 2023 AMA Pro Motocross Championship 250 Championship and the 2023 Monster Energy Supercross 250SX East Coast titles under his belt - along with 2-time Monster Energy AMA Supercross Championships 250SX West Runner-Ups (2022, 2021).
The concept behind the AUSX Open is to offer fans a once-in-a-lifetime chance to witness the world’s best racers without traveling to the USA, paired with epic Freestyle Motocross stunts, live music, and pyrotechnics.
With a recent world-class renovation, Marvel Stadium has been transformed into a state-of-the-art entertainment hub with the contemporary precinct ‘Stadium Square’, elevated dining options, an array of new bars and corporate facilities that will deliver enhanced event-day experiences and allow AUSX Open to offer a range of new experiences for fans.
