Programme: For the third and final day of
the first winter test the task list was basically the same
as for the two previous days. Again, development work with
the 2008 standard ECU was on the agenda, as well as testing
new mechanical parts in preparation for the 2008 season. While
the team lost some track time in Barcelona due to teething
problems with new components, the positive conclusion is that
it learned a lot in Spain.
What comes next: The next three days of
winter testing are scheduled for December 4th to 6th in Jerez
