The organisers of the Australian MotoGP at Phillip Island have assured fans there is no risk of the event being removed from the international calendar.

Some media reports claim the promoters will not approve the race unless it is held in March, after riders complained about this year's wet and windy conditions.

Australian Grand Prix Corporation boss Andrew Westacott says the contract states the race will be held in September or October until 2016.

"[Race promoter] Dorna has asked us to review the matter and those discussions are ongoing," he said.

"But the timeslot and the preferred option for us it to have it in September/October.

"As most motorsport fans will know, the vagaries of the weather mean that there's no guarantees of a good day or bad at Phillip Island."
