A1GP
A1GP’s maiden visit to the Gold Coast of Australia in October will mean the annual event gets a new event name – the SuperGP.
Late last year it was announced that A1GP World Cup of Motorsport would take over from the IndyCar series as the leading single-seater race series at the world-famous street circuit from October 2009.
The event, formally known as the Gold Coast Indy 300, will now be known as the SuperGP, which is a combination of the A1GP and V8Supercars – the two main racing events on the event programme.
Sport Minister, Judy Spence, officially announced the new name, logo and website in Brisbane for the event which will be one of the highlights of Queensland’s 150th birthday celebrations.
“2009 is a significant turning point in both the history of Queensland and for this fantastic event,” said Ms Spence.
