THE CRUZE GETS A TASTE OF ALL WEATHER CONDITIONS IN PORTIMÃO

Wet And Dry Track In The Algarve As Winter Testing Programme Continues

The winter testing programme of Chevrolet Racing ahead of the 2010 World Touring Car Championship, which will start in Curitiba in six weeks from now, brought the Cruze and the team to the Circuito do Algarve this week. Portugal this time offered a wide array of track conditions during the two-day session on Wednesday and Thursday, as the rain was on and off during the first day and the track was humid on the morning of the second day before the sunshine dried the surface for the final half-day of activity.

Still, Yvan Muller and Rob Huff were able to complete the work programme scheduled for this test with no major problem and continued the validation process of different technical solutions regarding suspension geometry and various set-ups. 

Alain Menu was present as an observer on the first day and participated in the technical debriefings with his team mates and the engineers. The three drivers will be behind the wheel, in the last winter test, scheduled in Valencia on 17-18 February.
