As the Repco Supercars Championship heads to the Boost Mobile Gold Coast 500 for the penultimate round of the season, a race on the beach was hosted.
Highlighting the close proximity of the circuit to the beach, a race was held on the sand between Matt Stone Racing’s Cameron Hill, drifter Mitch Mullen and off road racer Dexter Warren.
Pullen’s including highlights the newest addition to the event – the Boost Mobile Pro DRIFT SLAM. Held on Friday and Saturday nights, the drifting competition will be held on the north section of the circuit, with it to excite spectators after the racing is done.
While the drivers raced on the sand at The Spit, one of the Westpac rescue helicopters flanked by a Boost Mobile sightseeing chopper and stunt pilot Hayden Mullen in his HP Aerobatics plane added further to the spectacular sight.
