In what may well be the last Gold Coast Indy, Ryan Briscoe became the first Australian driver to win in the Event’s 18 year history. Originally from Sydney, Briscoe had the Brisbane-born Kiwi Scott Dixon in hot pursuit for the entire 60 lap race as he led the way from lap 17, before taking the chequered flag.

Premier Anna Bligh says the QLD government is still negotiating, but with the Gold Coast left out of the 2009 IndyCar calendar, the future of the event is uncertain in spite of record attendance. Almost 300,000 people enjoyed the four days of the Nikon Indy 300, with a crowd of 94,465 fans coming through the gates yesterday to see the total figure to 297,288.

Briscoe said it was a big honor to win in his home country. “Track position was everything at the race,” he said. “Dixon is very quick and consistent, and he was in my mirrors all day long, but I just had to focus on not making a mistake and bringing it all home.

While Briscoe was triumphant, fellow Australian and sentimental favourite Will Power came to a cruel end after leading for the opening 16 laps. Power brushed the inside wall on the apex of Turn Five, breaking his steering and heading into the Turn 6 wall.
Jamie Whincup Wins V8 Supercar Round Indy

While Power met an unfortunate end, the polesitter in the Australian V8 Supercar Championship Series was untouchable. The Gold Coast's Jamie Whincup followed up his pole and race one victory with two race wins yesterday. The results saw Whincup undeniably clinch his tenth career round win.

Whincup said it was the only major event he hadn’t had success with. “I put Indy in that major category, up there with Bathurst, Clipsal 500 and Sandown… I guess I would say it is another tick in the box for something I wanted to achieve in this category,” he said.
