MF1 Racing Testing Information
Barcelona Test - Day Three
23 February 2006
Weather Conditions:
Dry and Overcast, Air Temp. 13 ° C / Track Temp. 17 °
C
Driver: Christijan Albers
Chassis: M16-02
Engine: Toyota RVX-06
Fastest Lap: 1'17.142
Number of Laps: 79
Distance: 366 km
Test Summary:
The team enjoyed a satisfying final day in Barcelona as it
continued to chart a good rate of development with the car.
Today's programme called for some further tyre testing and
a race simulation for Christijan, which was cut short due
to a minor equipment malfunction in the garage. MF1 Racing's
winter testing schedule concludes on 28 February at Silverstone
with a shakedown of the second M16 chassis and fine tuning
the race setup for Bahrain.
Quote - Christijan Albers:
"The weather was better than expected, so at least we
could start early in the morning with some meaningful runs,
instead of waiting for it to warm up. Unfortunately, we encountered
some problems with the fuel rig, which cost us some track
time. We had originally planned to cover a race distance in
the afternoon but by the time we solved the problem, there
just wasn't enough time left. So we finished up the day with
a medium-length stint, which went well.
"I'm very pleased with the work we were able to do with
Bridgestone. The tyres are improving, the car is getting better
and the team is motivated. All in all, we had a useful week
here in Barcelona and I'm feeling positive heading into next
week's test at Silverstone."
