Takuma Sato joined SUPER AGURI F1 TEAM for the final two days running at Jerez, Spain, yesterday.

The planned programme for the morning was for Takuma to gain his first experience of the 2008 MES control system, evaluating each control function and tuning them towards his preferences for the coming season.

In the afternoon Takuma ran the new 2009 regulations slick tyres with simulated 2009 down force levels for the first time. He finished the day in 18th position, with a best time of 1.21.093.
