Test Summary We completed some engine work for Toyota in the
morning and worked on control systems and tyre testing in
the afternoon.
Quote: James Key, Technical Director It has
been a very encouraging week, we have done three full days
running on the new car with no reliability issues. We have
tried out new mechanical systems which are working as we hoped,
and had good development on our control systems. The cooling
levels on the new car are as expected and the outcome of data
has been as anticipated. The Toyota engine has been faultless
all week.
There are a few issues to resolve on the performance side
and we are working on that now but think we have a solution
and will hopefully make the car run quicker. It was an encouraging
day today with improving lap times. We have also tried new
Bridgestone tyres which performed very well. Overall it's
been a very good and motivating test, the drivers have both
done good jobs and are happy with the car.
