city of Barcelona plays host to the fourth round of the 2007
FIA Formula One™ World Championship.
Takuma Sato was in the driving seat of the SA07-02 today
and commenced the testing of a gearbox upgrade and a number
of new aero elements. Good track and weather conditions meant
that the team was able to complete the analysis of a number
of aero iterations in the morning.
A blustery wind picked up on-track in the afternoon, however
the SUPER AGURI F1 TEAM observed good reliability from the
new parts tested and was able to gather significant data,
ending the days running having completed a total of 98 laps.
Taku set the second fastest time of the day – a 1:21.858.
Taku will continue to drive on Day 2 of the team’s
proposed three-day test, with Anthony Davidson scheduled to
drive on the final day.
