Gold Coast 500

The Gold Coast 500 (known for sponsorship reasons as the Boost Mobile Gold Coast 500) is an annual motor racing event for Supercars, held at the Surfers Paradise Street Circuit in Surfers Paradise, Queensland, Australia. The event has been a regular part of the Supercars Championship — and its previous iteration, the V8 Supercars Championship — since 2010.

Not to be confused with the Gold Coast Indy 300, a former American Championship car racing event on the Gold Coast that ran from 1991 to 2008, or the V8 Supercar Challenge, the touring car support races to the Indy 300.

The event was excluded from the 2020 and 2021 Supercars Championships due to the COVID-19 pandemic, however it returned in 2022. Having previously been held as a two-driver event known as the Gold Coast 600, the event has been held as a single-driver 500 kilometre race since then.
