Friday was the big day for testing. The weather was forceast to be good, and everyone was bound to put new tyres on, thus laying some rubber down onto the track.

I still found it hard to find a rhythm on this track, it is constantly changing, and there is always a new limit to the handling. The thing about this tyre, is that when you break traction only a once or twice, it will overheat and not come back to its best operating temperature. Frederic Ostier (who finished runner up last year) has been putting in some solid times, he is the man to beat. Even with his tyres one session old, I (with new tyres) still need .2 of a second to match his time.

There is very stiff competition in the class, everyone, apart from Frederic, is doing similar times.
