Team Australia driver Will Power has received approval from Champ Car medical officials to race in this week's Gran Premio Tecate in Mexico City after injuring his wrist in the Lexmark Indy 300 in Australia last month. Along with receiving the all clear for this weekend's season finale in Mexico City on November 9-11, as has been done in the past, Champ Car has granted Power 15 minutes prior to the first practice session on Friday to trial a brace that the Australian will wear on his injured left wrist. Power sustained the injury at the previous round, the Lexmark Indy 300 on the Gold Coast in Queensland, Australia on October 21. The injury was as a result of an incident with Katherine Legge at Falken Corner on lap 19 of the event. Power was attempting to pass Legge when the two made contact, sending Power's car into the tyre wall with broken rear suspension. After examination from Champ Car medical officials it has been determined that Power has two small hairline fractures in his left wrist. The fractures are not displaced, meaning the usual healing time is three to four weeks, with no operation required. X-rays and scans taken in the week after the incident have been examined by Champ Car medical officials, who have given Power the all-clear to race in Mexico City at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez, the final race of the 2007 Champ Car World Series.
