You have a full network broadcast team and cameras covering the sessions this year compared to last. The Gold Pass is being operated like watching a race on network. BTW, a full year subscription to Gold pass is on sale for $40. Outside the May sale it's still only $64 for the full season. All season qualifying sessions, outside the first day minus the last hour of 500 qualifying, and races are still on NBCSN and NBC. There is a lot of confusion about what this is and isn't.
No, you can no longer watch for free at YouTube, but what NBC has done since getting this contract has been great. They've gone full out, lot's of cross promotion during their other sporting events, etc.
