MS Paul Ricard Test Days - Monday 12:00 update


© Planetlemans.com - Marcel ten Caat

The second day of testing at the Circuit du Castellet really got underway just after 9 o’clock this morning when the teams that did not run in the 24h simulation were allowed back on the circuit. Team Oreca Matmut continued during the night and the number 6 car improved its lap time in the early morning hours.

Audi Sport Team Joest was scheduled to have one car in the session today, but the team started to pack up last night and had already left the circuit by the time the other teams returned to resume their test. Other teams to have left Paul Ricard earlier than planned are RML and Trading Performance. Both teams had a troubled day yesterday, with the Zytek team not even getting a timed lap on the screens.

Trading Performance did however announce its three drivers for the Le Mans 24 Hours. Adam Sharpe will join Karim Ojjeh and Claude-Yves Gosselin in the Zytek 07S for the classic race.

The Epsilon-Euskadi team decided to participate in the night session at the very last moment and the car is improving. Despite doing only 31 timed laps on its first official test Angel Burgueño and the team are doing whatever they can to get the car ready for Barcelona. Hopefully they will be able to get some more track time today.

JMB Racing had one Ferrari 430 GT2 at the track yesterday, in the hands of Daoudi/Aucott/Ferté. Today it was joined by a second 430, Peter Kutemann is behind the wheel.

Just after eleven o’clock the Charouz Racing Systems Lola-Aston went back out on the circuit and immediately it started to set faster lap times. Its progress was only interrupted when the safety car came out after the Quifel-ASM Team Lola stopped on the track. At that moment the Charouz team had already climbed up into fourth place with 1:42.311.
