Months of planning are involved to turn the streets of Surfers Paradise into a 4.5km race circuit and the city of Gold Coast into an off-track stage, featuring over 200 support events and attractions. The annual four-day event culminates in the Australian round of the international Indy Car grand prix championship series, and is televised worldwide to spectators in over 180 countries.
