The Gold Coast tourism industry enjoyed a night at Mantra Sun City in the heart of Surfers Paradise to welcome the V8 Ute drivers staying in house for the annual GC600 event. Guests were treated to a display of heavy metal of the four wheel kind with over 60 race cars on display around the property including a $600,000 McLaren – the never been driven luxury car was flown in direct from London for the occasion.
Mantra Sun City GM, Michael Murtagh, said the event was a great success this year: “It was an early indicator that the event was going to be a success when around 65% of our bookings were taken by March this year,” he said. The Mantra Sun City restaurant also catered for over 600 drivers, crew and event staff for breakfast over the weekend event as well as various functions.
