Round 1 - Casey Fields
Round 1 of the Victorian HPV Series is a six-hour race at the Casey Fields Criterium Circuit. A shortened version of the criterium track is generally used for the first round.
Round 2 - Knox Grand Prix
Round 2 of the Victorian HPV Series is one of the most challenging events. It is a six hour race held on a tight, twisty circuit around the State Basketball Centre carpark in Wantirna South. 80 teams race around the 800m circuit. The track has multiple tough hills and tight bends that riders need to negotiate hundreds of times across the six hour challenge.
Round 3 - Bendigo
Round 3 is a race at the Deborah triangle precinct for both HPVs and also Energy Efficient Vehicles. It runs from 1-10pm, so there is a period of racing in darkness. This is the newest race in the Victorian HPV Series, and is primarily targeted at teams who want some extra preparation before the RACV Energy Breakthrough in Maryborough, Victoria.
Round 4 - Casey Fields
Round 4 of the Victorian HPV Series returns to the Casey Fields Criterium Circuit for another six hour race. The longer version of the track is used for the final round. This is a compulsory round for teams to be eligible for championship points.
