Will Power invited to the Supercars All Star ESeries

Will Power will take part in the BP Supercars All Star ESeries event at Mount Panorama in Bathurst this Wednesday. The resident of Team Penske, champion of theIndycar in 2014 and winner of the Indy 500 in 2018, will team up with Scott McLaughlin and Fabian Coulthard on the iRacing platform.

“As an Australian, Supercars is very important to me and I have followed the series for many years, especially since Team Penske has had such a strong presence, commented the former Indycar champion. I really hope to have the opportunity to compete in Supercars events with the team one day, but right now I'm focused on winning another Indycar title and another victory at the Indianapolis 500."

“I watched a few races (of the BP Supercars All Star ESeries) and some guys are very strong, added the 39-year-old Australian. The races are crazy, but I hope I can be competitive. It will be tough, especially in Bathurst. You will have to avoid problems until the finish. »

Will Power has a lot of experience in simulation racing and he intends to take advantage of the confinement linked to the coronavirus pandemic to perfect his technique.

“I've always done quite a bit of sim racing, but I've been spending a lot of time online since the pandemic hit, confided the Penske pilot. I have had the chance to compete in all the Indycar races as well as other events and I am delighted to participate in a virtual Supercars round. »

Will Power is not the first prestigious guest of the Supercars All Star ESeries. Max Verstappen took part in the second round held recently on the tracks of Silverstone and Barcelona where the Red Bull driver scored 3 podiums in 4 starts.
