It was the scene of his remarkable Supercars comeback victory two years ago, now James Courtney is hoping the Surfers Paradise street circuit delivers him another moment to remember this weekend.
The Mobil 1 HSV Racing driver, along with co-driver Jack Perkins, secured a heroic victory on the Gold Coast in 2015.
The pair started 11th on the grid in Courtney's first event back behind the wheel after being sidelined for nine weeks when a piece of debris from the wash of a helicopter in pitlane at Sydney Motorsport Park left him with several broken ribs and a punctured lung.
