The Gold Coast 600 (formally known as the Vodafone Gold Coast 600) 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 2009.
V8 Supercars had previously competed on the Gold Coast as a support race to the Gold Coast Indy 300 between 1994 and 2008. However, it was only in 2002 that the event attained championship status, having previously been run as exhibition races.
In late 2008, it was announced the Indy Car Series would not be returning to the Gold Coast in 2009, bringing to an end the Indy era. Subsequently, to fill the last minute hole in the schedule, the 2009 event expanded its format to 300 km on each Saturday and Sunday, each race split into two 150 km 'legs'. The amount of points accumulated over the two legs determined the individual winner for each day. This signalled the commencement of the endurance era at the Gold Coast event.
In 2024 the winner of the Saturday race was Cam Waters and Sunday was Brodie Kostecki
