The '''Lexmark Indy 300''' is a [[Champ Car]] event that takes place each year on a street circuit at [[Surfers Paradise, Queensland|Surfers Paradise]] in the [[Gold Coast, Queensland|Gold Coast]] region of [[Queensland]], [[Australia]]. The challenging 4.47 kilometre track has several fast sections and four [[chicane]]s.

The '''Nikon Indy 300''' was an open-wheel motor race event that took place at the [[Surfers Paradise Street Circuit]] in south east [[Queensland]], [[Australia]]. Known generically as the '''Gold Coast Indy 300''', [[Japan]]ese camera giant [[Nikon]] was announced as new naming rights sponsor in early August, 2008. The challenging 4.47 kilometre track has several fast sections and four [[chicane]]s.
  
−
It has been an annual event since [[1991]].  Each of the sixteen events has been won by a different driver with no repeats. This significant statistic has been reported in the media before each event, and previous winners aspire to be the first to win it twice.
+
The race had been an annual event since [[1991 IndyCar season|1991]] originally as part of the [[Champ Car World Series|CART PPG IndyCar World Series]]. Then, following the split between [[CART]] and the newly formed [[Indy Racing League|Indy Racing League (IRL)]] in [[1996 IndyCar season|1996]] and the subsequent dissolution of CART in [[2003 CART season|2003]], as part of the Champ Car World Series.
  
−
In the [[2002]] event there was a frightening incident when a 9 car [[pile-up]] occurred at the start in very wet conditions - however no significant injuries were sustained.
+
Following the merger of the Indy Racing League and Champ Car World Series in February [[2008 IndyCar Series season|2008]] the future of race had been secured until [[2013]] as an IRL [[IndyCar Series]] event, however the race was omitted from the [[2009 IndyCar Series season]] calendar, and subsequently dropped by the IRL completely.
  
−
The weekend events include a number of [[Australian]] racing categories in support of the international [[Champ Car]] race. This has often included [[V8 Supercar]]s. Since [[2002]], the Gold Coast race has counted for points in the V8 Supercar championship and they have claimed a better billing with the [[Champ Cars]].
+
In the first sixteen years of the event, there were sixteen different winners.  In [[2007 Lexmark Indy 300|2007]] [[Sébastien Bourdais]] became the first driver to win the race twice, adding to his [[2005 Lexmark Indy 300|2005 victory]].
 +
 
 +
==History==
 +
 
 +
The races early years were dogged by controversy as Australia's motor sport governing body the [[Confederation of Australian Motor Sport]] (CAMS) initially refused to sanction the event. The Queensland State Government has been largely supportive of the event while the Gold Coast City Council support at local level has varied in its level of support, even occasionally openly hostile to the event. However by the late 1990's the race had become a well attended and popular event on the Gold Coast calendar with tens of thousands of spectators attending each of the four days of the IndyCarnival.
 +
 
 +
In the [[2002 Honda Indy 300|2002 event]] there was a frightening incident when a 9 car [[pile-up]] occurred at the start in very wet conditions - however no significant injuries were sustained. In [[2003 Lexmark Indy 300|2003]] a massive hailstorm struck the area during the race leading to a [[red flag]]. Again no injuries were sustained.
 +
 
 +
The event lost much of its lustre from [[2004 Lexmark Indy 300|2004]] as the split between American open wheel racing series started to draw teams from the Champ Car World Series across to the IRL IndyCar Series whose calendar was considerably more domestic than the well travelled Champ Car World Series. The falling popularity of open wheel racing in America has further devalued the event in recent times with [[NASCAR]] dominating the U.S. racing scene to the point where the growing influence of support category V8 Supercar removed [[Champ Car]] from top billing of the event into an equal top billing not seen at any other Champ Car event. Traditionally the CART/Champ Car race was the final event of the programme but in recent years the final V8 race has held this place.
 +
 
 +
On [[March 5]], [[2008]] it was announced that the IRL IndyCar Series would travel to Australia for the first time, but due to contractural issues the race would not count towards the [[2008 IndyCar Series season|2008 IndyCar Series]] Championship and would be a stand-alone demonstration event, in light of the recent merger between Champ Car and the IRL.
 +
 
 +
On Tuesday, November 11, after extensive negotiations with the IRL broke down, the Queensland Government reached a new five year deal with [[A1 Grand Prix]] to stage a race at [[Surfers Paradise Street Circuit|Surfers Paradise]], severing its eighteen year history with American open wheel racing. On [[February 25]], [[2009]] it was announced that the event which combine one of the first few rounds of the 2009/10 A1GP and the 11th round of V8 Supercar Series would be produced through a partnership between IMG and the Queensland's local government. The event which formally known as the Gold Coast Indy 300 will be renamed as the SuperGP.

The construction of the Gold Coast circuit has been acclaimed internationally and is used as a benchmark for new temporary street circuits world-wide. Over a full 12-month period plans are laid and then implemented to transform a bustling residential, commercial and holiday destination into a temporary street circuit capable of facilitating high-speed motor races and hundreds of thousands of people.

−
In a two-month period leading up to the event, seven bridges are erected, 2515 concrete barriers installed, 11,500 grandstand seats fastened, more than 140 corporate suites furnished, 10km of debris fencing and 16km of security fencing placed, many more temporary structures fitted, and large-scale power and telecommunications systems activated.

−
The Lexmark Indy 300 street circuit is also an international leader in motor racing safety standards applauded by CAMS (Confederation of Australian Motorsport) and the FIA (the international governing body of motorsport). One of the major advancements over the past few years has been an increase in double height debris fencing including an additional 610 panels in high impact areas in [[2005]].

The Nikon Indy 300 was an open-wheel motor race event that took place at the Surfers Paradise Street Circuit in south east Queensland, Australia. Known generically as the Gold Coast Indy 300, Japanese camera giant Nikon was announced as new naming rights sponsor in early August, 2008. The challenging 4.47 kilometre track has several fast sections and four chicanes.

The race had been an annual event since 1991 originally as part of the CART PPG IndyCar World Series. Then, following the split between CART and the newly formed Indy Racing League (IRL) in 1996 and the subsequent dissolution of CART in 2003, as part of the Champ Car World Series.

Following the merger of the Indy Racing League and Champ Car World Series in February 2008 the future of race had been secured until 2013 as an IRL IndyCar Series event, however the race was omitted from the 2009 IndyCar Series season calendar, and subsequently dropped by the IRL completely.

In the first sixteen years of the event, there were sixteen different winners. In 2007 Sébastien Bourdais became the first driver to win the race twice, adding to his 2005 victory.

History

The races early years were dogged by controversy as Australia's motor sport governing body the Confederation of Australian Motor Sport (CAMS) initially refused to sanction the event. The Queensland State Government has been largely supportive of the event while the Gold Coast City Council support at local level has varied in its level of support, even occasionally openly hostile to the event. However by the late 1990's the race had become a well attended and popular event on the Gold Coast calendar with tens of thousands of spectators attending each of the four days of the IndyCarnival.

In the 2002 event there was a frightening incident when a 9 car pile-up occurred at the start in very wet conditions - however no significant injuries were sustained. In 2003 a massive hailstorm struck the area during the race leading to a red flag. Again no injuries were sustained.

The event lost much of its lustre from 2004 as the split between American open wheel racing series started to draw teams from the Champ Car World Series across to the IRL IndyCar Series whose calendar was considerably more domestic than the well travelled Champ Car World Series. The falling popularity of open wheel racing in America has further devalued the event in recent times with NASCAR dominating the U.S. racing scene to the point where the growing influence of support category V8 Supercar removed Champ Car from top billing of the event into an equal top billing not seen at any other Champ Car event. Traditionally the CART/Champ Car race was the final event of the programme but in recent years the final V8 race has held this place.

On March 5, 2008 it was announced that the IRL IndyCar Series would travel to Australia for the first time, but due to contractural issues the race would not count towards the 2008 IndyCar Series Championship and would be a stand-alone demonstration event, in light of the recent merger between Champ Car and the IRL.

On Tuesday, November 11, after extensive negotiations with the IRL broke down, the Queensland Government reached a new five year deal with A1 Grand Prix to stage a race at Surfers Paradise, severing its eighteen year history with American open wheel racing. On February 25, 2009 it was announced that the event which combine one of the first few rounds of the 2009/10 A1GP and the 11th round of V8 Supercar Series would be produced through a partnership between IMG and the Queensland's local government. The event which formally known as the Gold Coast Indy 300 will be renamed as the SuperGP.
