Chevrolet
driver Nicola Larini celebrated his 44th birthday on Wednesday while
testing his racing car at the Guadix racetrack in Spain.
Larini and the Chevrolet RML team spent two days at the Spanish
circuit with the aim to establish better chassis performance, tune
other car areas, put mileage on new parts and do some evaluation work on
prototype parts.
Larini commented: "We
had two full working days. Weather conditions were excellent and the Guadix
circuit is very interesting, so it was a very useful test. We have worked mainly
on the set-up, trying a number of little adjustments, some were new, and others
we had already tried. It has been a lot of fine-tuning."
The car
used was the designated 2008-spec test car, as the actual race cars are
currently enroute to Mexico via sea freight containers.
BMW Team UK/RBM also took
part in the test with reigning world champion Andy Priaulx.
