Surfers Paradise street race organisers have announced that the Gold Coast Indy 300 will be part of the new Indy Racing League schedule for the next six years.
The Australian event was always one that the new-look series hoped to include from the start of its unity with the former Champ Car Series although exactly where the Gold Coast race will fit into the final IndyCar schedule remains to be determined.
The IndyCar Series will be revising its previously announced 16-race schedule, to possibly include three former Champ Car venues - including Long Beach and Edmonton as well as Australia - in the immediate future, but the final 2008 schedule will still need to be ratified by the FIA.
