April 19, 2005: Test Session Results Day 1

The first of two days of testing at the Thomson Park Circuit wrapped up at noon eastern time after a productive morning session.  Driver Thomas Gordaneer logged 85 laps in chassis TJ01 around the 0.0975km circuit, posting a best time of 17.73 seconds.  The focus of the test was chassis development, including evaluating spring set-ups and finding a strong base set-up with which to work.  Engine performance was also evaluated, with the focus on reliability and response.  The session ran without any incident or major delay.  

Driver and Crew Chief: Thomas Gordaneer

"We made a lot of progress today with the car.  We were testing a softer compound tire and were immediately able to get comfortable with the handling, despite a rather slippery track.  We were also pleased with the spring set-up that we tested today, and look forward to an equally productive session tomorrow."

The team will now look towards their testing program tomorrow, as well as their exhibition race against RL Racing.
