The Gold Coast Indy is set to start on October the 18th but for some the race is already on!
Construction of grandstands, walk over bridges is well underway. Within Main Beach and Surfers Paradise roads are becoming a racetrack once again.
Pitlane and it's grandstands at Macintosh Island are being sectioned out and bolted up.
Construction workers and engineers are flat strap trying to get the new Macintosh Island Bridge completed before commencement of the event.
And this years Indy is tipped to be a big one with more off track entertainment including a music festival at Broadbeach and a drifting competition at the Southport Broadwater carpark adding to the off track entertainment. Last year the four day event attracted over 300,000 people making it the largest motorsport event on Australia's calender.
If your still trying to track down accommodation - good luck! There may be a something left through the accommodation aggregators listed see: Gold Coast Indy page.
On the track things look pretty hot with the expected shoot out between Australia Will Power and Frenchman Sebastien Bourdais and V8 Supercars will provide the homegrown door slamming action as usual!
Can't Wait!
