INTEGRATED POWER HOUSE AND NORTH STAR PASTORAL TAKE TITLE RIGHTS FOR TOOWOOMBA
The Factory Honda Racing Team heads into Round 4 of the Australian ProMX Championship in Toowoomba, Queensland, carrying strong momentum after a dominant Round 3 performance where the team claimed victories across all three championship classes.
Despite the success, Honda Racing Australia has continued an intensive testing and development program over the past two weeks, reinforcing the team’s commitment to constant improvement and maintaining its position as one of the premier programs in Australian motocross.
Backed by the strength of Honda and a growing group of aligned commercial partners, the Factory Honda Racing Team continues to evolve both on and off the track. The program has become a well-established powerhouse, combining elite riders, technical development, world-class support, and industry-leading partnerships.
Team Manager Mark Sladek explained the focus following Round 3.
“After Gilman, we sat down and reviewed everything carefully. Even though the results were strong, we identified areas where we could improve chassis setup, suspension feel, and engine character with different riders. Every rider is unique, so we worked hard over the past two weeks to tailor development around individual needs,” said Sladek.
Heading into Toowoomba, the team currently sits:
2nd in MX1 with Kyle Webster
1st and 3rd in MX2 with Alex Larwood and Kayd Kingsford
2nd in MX3 with Heath Fisher
MX1 front-runner Kyle Webster admitted the team had continued pushing despite winning overall at Round 3.
“Winning was great, but we knew there were still areas we could improve. The team and I spent a lot of time testing after Gilman and made some significant changes. Racing is always the real test, but I feel like we are in a really strong place heading into Toowoomba,” Webster explained.
This weekend, Integrated Power House and North Star Pastoral will take title rights across the Factory Honda Racing Team’s MX1, MX2 and MX3 programs respectively.
Integrated Power House (IPH) is one of Australia’s leading providers of smart technology, automation, audiovisual integration, and electrical solutions for both residential and commercial environments. As Australia’s largest C-Bus supplier, IPH specialises in advanced automation systems, Sonos audio integration, smart motion technology, and tailored electrical solutions.
The partnership reflects the alignment between two organisations driven by precision, performance, technology, and innovation.
“Whether it is a modern home, a commercial fit-out, or even a professional race team transporter and workshop, smart technology plays a major role in performance and efficiency,” said Brain Barlin from Integrated Powerhouse. “That is why we align so strongly with Honda Racing. Performance, precision, reliability, and technology matter in both industries, and Honda is a brand we are proud to stand alongside.”
North Star Pastoral will headline the MX2 program this weekend, strengthening the connection between Australian motocross and the country’s rural and agricultural communities.
MX2 championship leader Alex Larwood acknowledged the importance of companies like North Star Pastoral to both the sport and regional Australia.
“Companies like North Star Pastoral are the backbone of this country. Farming, cattle stations, and rural communities are deeply connected to motorcycles, whether it is for work, transport, or recreation. It is something I grew up around myself and where I first learnt to ride,” said Larwood.
North Star Pastoral has grown into one of Australia’s major pastoral operations and is now custodian to more than two million acres across Queensland and the Northern Territory.
Their operations include multiple stations, reflecting a business built on hard work, scale, resilience, and long-term commitment, values that strongly align with Honda Racing Australia.
Round 4 of the ProMX Championship takes place this weekend in Toowoomba, Queensland.
