SUPER AGURI F1 TEAM commenced its final pre-season European winter test at the Circuit de Catalunya in Spain today.

The conditions were overcast but dry in the morning, however rain spoiled the day wetting the circuit at 13:00. The modified circuit tarmac gave little grip at the start of the day and only improved for dry Bridgestone Potenza tyres again for the last 90 minutes of track running.

Anthony's testing programme comprised of set-up work attempting to optimise grip of the Bridgestone Potenza tyre. Two separate settings were found with similar pace.

Anthony will continue set-up analysis and commence a targeted race length run tomorrow.
