Timo Glock tests slick tyres at Barcelona

Timo Glock volvió a tomar los mandos del Toyota hoy en la continuación de las pruebas de cuatro días de pruebas en Barcelona. Timo pasó la mayor parte de su tiempo en la continuación de su trabajo de configuración para el Gran Premio de España, junto con los amortiguadores y la suspensión. A última hora de la tarde montó los nuevos neumáticos slick de Bridgestone, que se introducirán en la F1 en el 2009. Terminó el día con más de 100 vueltas. Mañana está prevista que Jarno Trulli le reemplace y Toyota continuará sus preparativos para la carrera de la próxima semana.

Timo Glock returned to action for Panasonic Toyota Racing today as the team continued its four-day test at Barcelona. Conditions were again cool around the Circuit de Catalunya but the track remained dry for the whole day’s running. Timo spent most of his time continuing his work on set-up for the Spanish Grand Prix, along with dampers and suspension. Late in the afternoon he tried out Bridgestone’s new slick tyres which will be introduced into F1 in 2009. He finished the day with over 100 laps. Tomorrow Jarno Trulli is scheduled to take over the driving duties as Toyota continues its preparations for next week’s race.

“This has been a positive two days of testing for me. We spent the morning continuing our set-up work for the Spanish Grand Prix and collecting data on various systems. We’re going in the right direction so we hope that can help us next week. Towards the end of the day we tried the new slick tyres for next year. We gathered some important information but we still need to learn more. For now I am more focused on the current situation, in particular the race here next weekend. The work we have done here will hopefully make us well prepared.”

Gerd Pfeiffer, Test Team Manager

“Today we had a busy programme with a variety of different elements. In the morning we kept up our work on set-up for the Spanish Grand Prix, along with some tests on other parts including dampers and suspension. We continued that work after lunch before switching late in the afternoon to the slick tyres that are going to be introduced in 2009. Overall we made it through everything we had planned and collected useful data.”
