Timo Glock began Jordan Ford’s first test of 2004 yesterday in cold, dry conditions at Barcelona’s Circuit de Catalunya, completing 54 laps with a quickest lap time of 1:19.62 at his first visit to the circuit and first outing in a Formula One car.

James Robinson, Head of Race and Test Engineering explained, "We had a good start to the day but during the morning we lost a small amount of track time to a misfire which was eventually pinned down to electrical problems, costing us about an hour. Dominic (Harlow) and Timo (Glock) pushed on with programme and completed 44 laps in the morning and during lunch we made a number of changes in our test plan  fitting development parts for EJ14."
