Short first day for Super Aguri at Valencia
Super Aguri F1 Team continued its preparations for the 2007 Formula One season by joining the official F1 test at the Circuit de la Comunitat Valenciana Ricardo Tormo today. Takuma’s testing programme started later than planned due to the inclement weather at the start of the day. Bridgestone Potenza tyre and control system analysis were conducted on a cold and slippery circuit. Takuma will continue the test driving duties tomorrow.
Due to the weather, Giedo van der Garde, the new test driver of the team, couldn't make his F1 debut. The Dutchman would go for his super license today, but as the weather was too bad, the team decided to wait another day.
