The Toyota Panasonic Racing Team was given three long days to test on the Jerez race track. If the Tuesday event was for Franck Montagny and the Wednesday test was for Ralf Schumacher, the final day, Thursday, was given to Jarno Trulli to master his skills for the forthcoming Japanese Grand Prix which happens at Fuji Speedway next week.
Jarno Trulli was quoted saying, "It was a good day without many interruptions. We worked on both aerodynamic and mechanical set-up in the morning, found some good solutions and had a productive test up until lunch time. But then the wind came up in the afternoon and we had to change the focus to items where consistent track conditions were not so important. But we have gathered enough information to be able to study the results and hopefully make a step for the final three races."
He also managed to accomplish his task that day by finishing a huge total of 77 laps compared to Schumacher who only got 27 last Wednesday. I was looking for a Volkswagen control arm when I spotted this news on MotorSport.com:
Chassis: TF107/06
Best Lap Time: 1min 21.521s
Position: 7th
Total laps: 77
Total distance: 340.571km
Gerd Pfeiffer the Test Team Manager also said, "This morning, Jarno carried on the programme Ralf had started yesterday and by midday had made strong progress and was happy with the car handling and balance. But then, unfortunately, some strong winds blew up and that made conditions more unpredictable and we could no longer carry out meaningful comparison testing. We therefore switched emphasis for the final part of the afternoon. Overall we have had three solid days and collected a lot of data."
The day was sunny and warm and so Trulli was able to do his tasks well. But during the afternoon, a strong wind reached the testing site and Trulli found difficulties dealing with it. But he was able to finish his task gloriously at the end of the day.
