| A1GP Round 7 - Friday Practice |
|
SOLID FRIDAY EFFORT FOR GREAT BRITAIN  Jarvis posted the ninth fastest lap time in the hour-long rookie
session, the first half of which saw heavy drizzle greet the 18 nations
opting to venture out on the 2.4-mile circuit before conditions later
improved and a dry line emerged. Switching to a dry set-up for Kerr's
outing in the afternoon, the team improved the pace of the car
throughout the session in preparation for Saturday's qualifying run.Oliver Jarvis: "I really enjoyed myself out there on the circuit. It's the first time I've driven the A1GP car in the wet but it handled well and this is an absolutely fantastic track, it'll make for a great race. I had to perform all the usual team duties of bedding in brakes and discs, which was made slightly harder by the weather, but we're getting to grips with the circuit and making progress. I think the car will be in good shape come Sunday's races."
