MacLeod given Ultimate test
Ultimate Motorsport fulfilled their commitment to give a test to the highest placed Mygale driver in the Formula Ford Championship when Callum Macleod joined the team at Pembrey in Wales for two days this week.MacLeod impressed the team with his feedback as he was put through a test program to assess his ability in and out of the car. Due to bad weather on Tuesday the team decided to run the test into a second day, giving the 19-year-old a full day in the dry. Engineer Andy Richardson said: "Callum's ability in the car was there for all to see during this test. He has the talent of car control and a great understanding despite this being his first experience of an F3 car. "His feedback and comments were very, very good – in fact, he is probably one of the best drivers I have dealt with at doing that – and that reflects on what he has achieved in Formula Ford. "During his test he was involved in developing the Mygale car further and so he did not set a competitive lap time. We tried to take the car somewhere new and he helped tremendously, with his feedback, in that process. "The car was oversteering and it is not easy to deal with. The car caught him out twice, but that is the nature of testing around Pembrey and he has done a very good job in his two days." The team has big ambitions for 2008 after a successful debut season in British motorsport this year and more will be revealed about their exciting plans in the next few months.
