"“I think such a commitment will also breed a whole new group of fans who will be able to get behind young Australian drivers like Will (Power) and Ryan (Briscoe) as they continue to forge careers for themselves."

Xenophobia no doubt...

BTW:

"Tony George and his team at the IRL welcomed our involvement with tremendous enthusiasm and see the Gold Coast Indy 300 as one of their signature events going forward."

You'd think those Austrailian race fans would support the event and the series, no matter who was driving. That's what we are told here, isn't it?

I mean, its all about the racing, right?

Absolutely...afterall, it will be a 'signature' event...

It seems that with the addition of the 4 street parades, including the 'signature event' in Australia, the percentage of street/road courses in the new IRL is 40%...is that correct...
