C
Driver:
Giorgio Mondini, Markus Winkelhock, Tiago Monteiro
Chassis: M16-03
Engine: Toyota RVX-06
Fastest Lap: 1'44.178 / 1'37.35 / No time
Number of Laps: 13 / 12 / 11
Distance: 67 / 62 / 57 km (186 km)
Test Summary:
The team's goals for today were twofold: shaking down the
second M16 race chassis for Bahrain; and running through a
series of pit stop drills with all the hardware, using the
team that will shortly be executing these critical routines
during races.
Giorgio and Markus finalized their pre-season testing programme
in preparation for their Friday driving duties in Bahrain
and Malaysia, respectively, while Tiago conducted the remainder
of the shakedown.
As always, there is still plenty of work to do ahead of the
season's first race, but the team is pleased to have concluded
its pre-season build up with another productive and trouble-free
test.
Driver Quote - Tiago Monteiro:
"Unfortunately, we weren't able to do much hard running
today, as it was freezing cold and actually snowed quite a
bit!
But we did manage to shake down the new car, test out the
new gearbox and practice some pit stops and refueling, so
it was a pretty useful test.
As usual, the mechanical components and team members performed
flawlessly. Now, everyone is excited and getting ready for
the first race in two weeks.
Personally, I can say that I'm really looking forward to
being in a warm, dry climate again!"
