Thanks

hmm interesting.

The track is hard on tyres, and with a year out, the data might be inaccuate, so I guess that is the reason for this test ???

It seems that Ferrari´s F2008 will be launched during that test. The F2008 is scheduled to be launched on the 14th of January, at Jerez. Interesting to see them launch it on a track other than Fiorano or Mugello, as they have been the most featured tracks in recent years.

I've heard 25/7 June get quoted several times now for silverstone. And some companies are taking bookings on it. I'd say its a definite for the f1 test session.
