LOTUS RACING DAY
ONE BARCELONA TEST
76 more laps for
Fairuz Fauzy on the first day of the Barcelona test marks another
satisfactory day for Lotus Racing. In dry, sunny conditions the team
completed all its objectives for the day and are now looking forward
to seeing Jarno Trulli take over driving duties tomorrow and Saturday.
Chief Technical
Officer Mike Gascoyne gave his thoughts on the day's on track action,
saying "It was a very productive day - 76 laps with no
mechanical worries on the car. In the morning we conducted some
engine LAMDA running which we completed successfully. We ran through
a series of system set up checks, completed our first starts and
evaluated a number of other control systems on the car, as well as
monitoring temperatures and pressures throughout the car.
"All in all
this was a successful day both on the track and we ticked off a lot
of behind the scenes tasks ahead of the first race. Fairuz did a very
good job today, with no mistakes, and we were able to complete our
whole program."
Jarno Trulli takes
over tomorrow with more dry running ahead of the Lotus Racing team. |
