Last Gold Coast Indy

Posted by geoff on November 12, 2008

At the end of October I attended what has now been confirmed as the last Indy Car race on the Gold Coast. This race has become an icon of motor sport in Australia and it is sad to see it go. It will be replaced by the A1 Supercar series as well as V8 supercars on the street circuit through Surfers Paradise, which will still be held in October. This move has the potential to attract more international interest as the A1 GP cars are raced in more countrys and each team actually represents a country. The drivers compete in identicle vehicles based on the Ferrari Formula one chassis. As a result of this deal Queensland will have a permanent place on the A1 circuit.
