Brisbane will witness the colour, excitement and atmosphere of the Lexmark Indy 300 at Midday on Thursday September 1
source: paddocktalk.com Brisbane Lord Mayor Campbell Newman, Lexmark Indy 300 General Manager James O'Brien and V8 Supercar driver David Besnard today announced the plans for the September 1 Official Launch of Queensland's premier Event. For the first time in Brisbane's history, a 750-horsepower Champ Car and a Holden and Ford V8 Supercar will roar around a street circuit in the heart of the city in front of a large lunchtime audience on the first day of Spring. Councillor Newman said he was very excited that the launch of such a popular international event would be held in Brisbane. "It will provide a great opportunity to show the rest of the world that Brisbane is an exciting and vibrant world-class city," Cr Newman said. "What better backdrop for the launch of an international event than sunny blue skies, the Brisbane River, Kangaroo Point Cliffs and the CBD. "I encourage the people of Brisbane to come into the city at lunchtime on September 1, see a real Champ Car and two V8 Supercars drive around the streets of Brisbane live, meet the drivers and get a taste of Indy." A 'real' Champ Car is being flown out from the United States for the Official Launch. The green-and-gold Team Australia Champ Car will be driven around a special street circuit by the first full-time Australian driver in Champ Car history, Marcus Marshall.
