No, and that's the strange thing. The list of dates I posted on the previous page are speculated dates, but nothing official has come out from Renault-Sport yet.

Herck has got to be one of the revelations of the winter so far. In the four days of testing so far, he's never finished lower than 9th in any session and has looked good with both Pons Racing and Prema. Excellent performance from Roberto Merhi too, considering that he is only 16 years old! And if Aleix Alcaraz continues with performances like this, he must be in with a chance of a seat at Pons.

Apparently Andy Soucek tested the new car today and will do so tomorrow morning as well before handing over to 2007 champion Alvaro Parente.
