The Lucky Strike B·A·R Honda test team has been in action this week, undertaking a four-day test in Valencia with the '04 Concept car. Anthony Davidson, fresh from his Friday testing duties in Melbourne, drove on all four days.
This week's programme encompassed various tests, including a full Michelin tyre evaluation programme, suspension testing and further reliability testing for the Honda engine. Anthony has completed a total of 1300 kilometres.
The team had planned to dedicate today to a Michelin wet tyre test. Unfortunately, on Anthony's second run of the morning he aquaplaned off the circuit, damaging the chassis. It was decided that the test should be brought to an early conclusion in order to repair the damage. Despite this early end to the test, the team has completed the planned programme.
B·A·R will now move to the Sepang International Circuit for the Malaysian Grand Prix, round two of the 2004 FIA Formula One World Championship, which will take place on Sunday 21 March.
