SUPER AGURI F1 TEAM third driver Giedo van der Garde (Netherlands)
joined the team on track in Spain today driving the SA06 B-04
to accrue the necessary mileage required for his FIA Super
License application. Unfortunately a mechanical issue with
the car curtailed his running prematurely. It is hoped that
there will be enough circuit time available tomorrow to facilitate
qualifying for his Super License.
Takuma’s testing programme in the SAF1 Team Interim
Car comprised continued analysis of the Bridgestone Potenza
tyres and control systems development. This progress was hampered
however by the unusually inclement Spanish weather. Anthony
Davidson will take over the test driving duties tomorrow from
Takuma.
