• *** FINAL PRE SEASON TEST ***

  "It's been a difficult test this week because of the weather which has been very cold and drizzly. We did not do any running yesterday as we felt it was too cold to get meaningful results. Today was a big improvement and we covered 92 laps doing some very useful wet testing. We got good data from key evaluations which we needed to complete before the first race next weekend. It was a positive end to our pre-season preparations and we're all looking forward to getting to Melbourne."
