The 17th Lexmark Indy 300 carnival has started and enthusiasts will party on for a whole week in Queensland’s spectacular Gold Coast.

The entertainment will spill out of the racetrack onto the streets with live stage shows featuring fire shows, dancers and percussionists to keep the energy pumping till late.

There will be Gala Balls, celebrity beach volleyball tournaments, flyovers by high tech military aircraft, and of course, the newly crowned Bartercard Miss Indy with 1st and 2nd runners up, presented in traditional cheque swimwear for the popular Pit Walks.

And then there’s the racing. Three days of V8 Utes, Carrerra Cup Porches, V8 Supercars and the main event, the Champ Cars.

Once again, the hopes of the host nation will rest on Will Power after the Queenslander was taken out in last year’s race.

In 2006, Toowoomba born Will Power finished fastest in qualifying and started the main race from pole position.

Power led the field for the first thirteen laps until Sebastien Bourdais entered turn three with locked brakes and careered into the front left wheel of Power’s Team Australia Lola.

With his steering and bodywork damaged, Power persevered with his stricken carto collect as many championship points as possible.

His efforts paid dividends with 12th place getting the Australian nine points towards the championship, adding to the two earned in qualifying.

Victory is never certain, but it is certain that it will be a feast of motorsports and madness on the Gold Coast this weekend.

It will wrap up with a wild beach party with drivers, pit crews, sponsors, promotional models, Lexmark Indy 300 staff and the Bartercard Miss Indy Race Team.
