Team Australia to get added Power?
Queenslander Will Power is set to join the Champ Car World Series for the Surfers' Paradise round of the championship, joining Team Australia in a third car using a Lola chassis.
Power, who will miss the final round of the World Series by Renault at Monza, is reported to be in line for a race seat with Team Australia for the next two seasons as well as the possibility that he could race in Mexico for the season finale.
Queenslander Will Power is set to join the Champ Car World Series for the Surfers' Paradise round of the championship, joining Team Australia in a third car using a Lola chassis.
Power, who will miss the final round of the World Series by Renault at Monza, is reported to be in line for a race seat with Team Australia for the next two seasons as well as the possibility that he could race in Mexico for the season finale.
The move is reported in Australia's weekly Auto Action and bi-weekly Motorsport News and is thought to mean that current driver Marcus Marshall will be out of a drive in the Champ Car team for 2006, despite being on a two-year contract.
Power impressed on his A1GP debut for Australia, taking a podium spot in the Feature race for the Alan Docking Racing squad, whilst Marshall - who only had limited slicks and wings experience before being offered the Champ Car drive - is being tipped for a V8 Supercar drive.
Last season saw WPS V8 Supercar driver David Besnard get a one-off Surfers Paradise race seat, where he drove solidly to seventh place and local hero status.
