The Week Long Party Is Over

Queensland’s glitter strip hosted 314,136 thrillseekers, attracted by the lure of sun and sand, nightlife, wildlife and wild nights.
That and the annual combination of 750 horsepower International Champ Car action and 640 horsepower V8 Supercars.
Bourdais’ victory assured the Formula One bound driver a fourth consecutive Vanderbilt Cup Championship title, while second placed Justin Wilson of England and Brazil’s Bruno Junqueira continued their hot form of late to complete the podium.
Power’s Team Australia team mate, Simon Pagenaud of France was happy to take on the adopted Aussie tag as he clinched a worthy top five finish.
Holden’s Toll HSV driver Garth Tander survived the carnage during the V8 Supercar Challenge to take overall honours and claim a maiden trophy from the iconic Queensland event.
Claiming second for the event was Caltex Racing’s Russell Ingall while Jason Richards of Tasman Motorsport slotted into third.
Champ Car provisional pole starter Oriol Servia described the Queensland feature as ‘the best race on the planet’ and ‘having even more to offer than the Formula One event held in Monaco.’
