Day 3  -  12 July 2007

Sebastien Bourdais   1:48.585            91 laps              chassis STR2-02Circuit length: 7.004 km

An almost dry day is about as good as it gets in the Ardennes forest and that was what faced the teams on this final day of the Spa test. The track was damp at first, but by the end of the morning, Sebastien was able to fit dry weather tyres and fromthen on there was no more rain.

The STR2 ran trouble free, which helped the team's pursuit of reliability which has been somewhat lacking in recent races. Other than that the drier weather meant it was time to make up for lost time on the first two days.

"The mixed weather means at least we tried the Bridgestone wets as well as comparing the two types of dry tyre," commented Chief Engineer, Laurent Mekies. "Not having been to Spa for two years and  this  circuit  having  some  unique  characteristics,  it  was  very  useful  to  work  on defining  the  aero  configuration  for  this  track,  in  addition  to  evaluating  some  new components and brake parts. With neither driver making any mistakes, we were able to  do  a  high  mileage  over  the  three  days  which  is  good  from  a  reliability  point  ofview."
