Yesterday provided what one hopes is the last outing for our 2007 wet weather clothing, as rain meant that this first of three days testing was very much a washout. The cold conditions did not help much either. Both Mark and David did some practice starts, but the team chose not to do too many laps, hoping for better conditions today.
There was one piece of unscheduled excitement when DC "had a moment" on the uphill section between Turns 7 and 8, which ended up with him kissing the wall, but the minor damage was soon repaired and he was back out on track.
