2016 Gold Coast 600

The 2016 Gold Coast 600 was the 8th Gold Coast 600 and took place in Surfers Paradise Street Circuit, in Surfers Paradise, Australia from October 21-23, 2016.

Participants
Due to the death of the King of Thailand the Thursday in the previous week, all Thais were banned from participating. All 32 seeds were supposed to be participating, but everyone expect James Hinchcliffe (DWTS) and Pee Saderd (travel ban) participated. Eldstar banned James Hinchcliffe from participating, as his DWTS season was still going on; and by the time the races happened he still moved on to the next round. The king's death affected Pee Saderd, who was seeded 32nd in the 2016 Swiss Open - Men's Singles. Saderd would return in 2017.
