Testing Term
Just saw the following on Autosport.com:
http://www.autosport.com/newsitem.asp?id=26097&s=5 It said Jenson Button was testing a "concept car". What does that mean? |

He's been using last years car fitted with parts off this years car
They've been using this car to do a lot of the off season tesing until they're new one came out , probably don't want to do to much with new one's now as it's getting closer to Melbourne |

My understanding is that they have issues with tire wear. They have the same rear end on the CC so I think they are working on a good tire/tire-strategy to use in the 1st race.

What impressed me most so far is that for once, BAR's testing seemed properly organised and systematically carried out. No fuss, no fumbles, which is a sign of improvement.
I won't go all out to say they'd bliz the field..cos they wont. But i won't be surprised if BAR finds themselves mixed with the 3rd and 4th best teams. |

Yeah somehow I would be surprised if BAR monopolised the front row in Oz.
