Indy And Sportscar Stars Sign For Gold Coast V8s

http://auto-racing.speedtv.com/artic...-v8-supercars/

This is going to be FANTASTIC!!!

In a unique concept developed specifically for the Gold Coast V8 Supercar event, 18 of the world’s greatest drivers will team up with local home-grown talent for two 300km races on the world’s most spectacular street course.

The list is a who’s who of world motorsport including former Formula 1, CART and Indy 500 champion, Jacques Villeneuve. The Canadian was to be on the Gold Coast for tonight’s lavish launch, but was stranded in Europe because of the volcanic ash turning that part of the world into a no-fly zone.

The list includes current international Australian aces David Brabham, Ryan Briscoe and Will Power, Kiwi Scott Dixon, Scottish ace and former Gold Coast Champ Car race winner Dario Franchitti, North America’s most successful road course racer and 1997 Gold Coast winner, Scott Pruett, four-time Champ Car and two-time Gold Coast winner Sebastien Bourdais from France, former European F1 drivers and current touring car and sportscar guns Heinz-Harold Frentzen (Germany), Tiago Monteiro (Portugal), Mika Salo (Finland), Andy Priaulx (UK), Gianni Morbidelli (Italy), Fabrizio Giovanardi (Italy), Alain Menu (Switzerland) and Yvan Muller (France).

This has the makings of a really cool event, even without the Indycars.
