New car completes Imola test

The new A1GP car for the 2008/09 season continued with its testing programme this week, with two days of work at the Imola circuit in Italy

Andrea Bertolini was again the man in charge of driving duties, after the Italian had tested the Ferrari-powered car for the first time at Fiorano.

"We've completed about 900 kilometres of testing so far and everything is going relatively smoothly," said A1GP General Manager, Technical and Operations, John Wickham.

"The car is performing very well and the driver is happy with it; the balance is good and the tyres are working well.

"We haven't done as much testing as we hoped but that's partly because we were waiting on the weather at Fiorano. We ended up just running in the rain in the end but the car looked very quick in the wet.

"In general the car has been very reliable. We look forward to five consecutive days running next week with the tight Guadix Circuit ideal for further testing of the handling of the car."

Testing of the new car will continue next week with a five-day session at the Guadix circuit in the South of Spain.
