There won't be any Surfers Paradise event in the future of the IRL as both local government and the IndyCar management failed to come to an agreement on a new date for the Australian race.
A1 Grand Prix will instead replace the IndyCar series in the traditional October festival which has lured thousands to Surfers Paradise since 1991.
The stumbling block to a new agreement was the government's refusal to move the date of the annual open-wheel event from October to March.
