A first post is always a tricky one, but you have to start somewhere right ?

I'd like to coment on this :

Of course, full-on racing conditions simulation would be great - which is why skipping the 30 hour collective test opportunity is truly a waste - but it is what it is
By my calculation, Mercedes F1 dit a bit more than 1400km during the first week of 2018 F1 testing in Barcelona, which means in 4 days. Therefore I have to agree with Chiana on the fact that the figures given by Ginetta/Manor are not bad at all.
