Smart

Cars can still crash and hurt stuff on test days..
Would you rather that they rock up there for the race and just hope for the best?

After PI it seems critical to me to do some testing at Bathurst. The teams normally stand their wheels up much more at Bathurst to make life easier for the tyres but to have a better understanding of limits will be important.

Good move to do the test - neither easy nor cheap at Bathurst with all the gates to close etc but as Dunlop and the teams work through the issues, seems logical and needed to do this test.
