This is such a wonderful circuit, and it's a great piece of driving from Power. It would be awesome to see Formula One cars have a blast around here. We can dream, right?
Way too bumpy probably and the track width is too small - I know the v8's are the ones that mostly use this now but I think them and Champcar/Indycar are more lenient with it - F1 is just OCD when it comes to street circuits...
+venomau5speedz there has been some talk about bringing it back next year and by adding a temporary surface over the tram lines, which can be taken on and off. This is by far the best street track ever the commitment is amazing
I don't see how that is possible...the section of asphalt after the 2nd chicane has been reduced to one car width in certain places. Besides that, No way they could race there anymore with the tram stops and power poles running in the middle.
There’s something so unnerving about the way those champ cars handled. They look like they’re gonna grip up on understeer and spit the rear into the barrier
And he now trails Mario Andretti for all-time pole positions. What a class act. 56 poles and counting. Penske made an amazing choice with Will Power. 2014 series champion and defending Indy 500 winner.
@@man.of.culture231 and in addition to that he has surpassed Mario for most career poles in the sport’s history. He’s not just the 2018 Indy 500, and a two-time IndyCar champion but also the fastest qualifier in the history of the sport.
Walter Start Hey! It's 9 years since your comment and he's become one of the most winning driver in the series history, a Champion in 2014, and now an Indy 500 winner :D
In the Toca Race 2 Game were the barriers even closer... it should be back despite tram stops, last race in 2008 IndyCar Series with no points awarded 😅
Oriol Servià, driving a car for PKV this weekend, nipped local hero Will Power on Friday, snagging the provisional pole position by .033 seconds and locking in a front row starting spot for Sunday's race. Power got revenge on Saturday when he broke the Surfers Paradise track record in winning his fourth pole position of the season by .372 seconds. (1:30.054 in the end)
I miss Champ Cars. The engines are what an open wheel race car should sound like!
I miss it to its the best
Check also Formula 1 V10 era
I really do wish we could bring back these cars and the original track 😭
Hey guys, lets put the Singapore Sling
everywhere
3:00 that’s just insane, the speed he went into those turns
Absolutely spectacular
It reminds me of Max's undone lap of the year at Jeddah

won't happen now, they built over the track with a tram line (that is really poorly used)
***** How massively disappointing.

Had to come back here after he won Pole #68. Power is incredible.
And he now trails Mario Andretti for all-time pole positions. What a class act. 56 poles and counting.
Penske made an amazing choice with Will Power. 2014 series champion and defending Indy 500 winner.
And, well, guess what, WILL POWER, 2022 INDYCAR SERIES CHAMP!

Now, when i see this video, i understand why Penske choose him!
A very brillant Driver, i hope he make good performance this year.

@@alvaroverderamo 2021 checkin' in, here. The madman is closing in on Mario Andretti's all-time pole record.
2022 here. 2 times IndyCar champion ❤️
Is that a young James Hinchcliff in the commentary box?
Far out! I hate the QLD govt for cutting this track short, the longer version of this track was so much better. 😢
Outstanding driving by Power!
One more thing interesting about this video: Will's Public Relations manager for Walker Racing that year is now his wife.
pubic relations now lol
I think James Hinchcliffe is commentating alongside Matt White, as Will Power poster this on this Twitter and used a 🎤 emoji and tagging Hinchtown
Shit, you're right. I've watched this video many many times... never noticed
Its clearly leigh diffey but you are right Hinch was the announcer on the international feed for Champcar in 2007.
@@adrianvelez3037 You're wrong. It's 100% Matt White and Hinch.

Is that Jimmys Hinchcliffes??? He sounds so young
I remembered this, I was watching on the grand stand!
Good lap good lap nice to see my favourite TV commentator for V8 Supercars Championship doing Indy cars Champship for Qufiling
I miss WIll in the Aussie Vineyards Colors, although we really see what he can do driving for Darth Roger.

I got to sit in this car at road america as my uncle was his pit crew
The wall is approaching at a tremendous speed!😨
Champ Car's lap of the gods
if that car had carbon brakes like the current indycar...
Not really enough room for passing. Great time trial course, but don't know if its a good race course.
2023 Las Vegas GP
Fh3 vibes
Hell yeah brother
