Team drivers Oliver Jarvis and Robbie Kerr shared the driving duties, Jarvis setting the 4^th  fastest time yesterday afternoon with a lap time of 48.432s and Kerr achieving a time of 48.142 to go 8^th fastest this morning. A1 Team GBR’s test began with data collection work for engine supplier Zytek, bedding in brake discs and  pads,  plus  general  set-up  work.  

Set-up  work  continued  this  morning,  although  Kerr’s quickest  runs  were  ruined  by  traffic,  and  the  team  also  completed  vital  pit  stop  practice  in preparation  for  the  mandatory  two  pits  tops  which  will  be  key  to  this  season’s  A1GP  Feature Races.  No  major  problems  were  encountered,  although  the  car  suffered  a  wishbone  failure which cost some time, and overall the team emerged satisfied with its final preparations for next week’s event in Holland. Oliver Jarvis completed a total of 85 laps on Tuesday, with Robbie Kerr driving a further 52 laps this morning.

Oliver Jarvis:  “We  made  good  progress  yesterday.  It  wasn’t  about  setting  quick  lap  times  but focusing  on  shaking  the car and engine down and getting the jobs done whilst doing as little mileage as possible to save the components for Zandvoort. We’re going to Zandvoort in a good position and will hopefully improve our real pace at the first round."

Robbie Kerr: “We’re happy with how the day went. There are a few minor issues that we resolved and questions that needed answering which we have now answered. We’ve been focusing on car set-up and know what we need to make the car go quickly. I’m now just looking forward to the racing starting again!”
