After a beautiful warm and sunny day with off track
activities on March 6, it was back to the track on March 7.
Unfortunately the weather was not
cooperating, there were torrential rains starting the evening before and
continued all during morning.
The CART Toyota Atlantic Car's finally made
it on track around 1.30p.m.
There were 11 cars present for this test
session, which is a good chance for all teams present to compare
themselves with the other teams. Jonathan's team-mate was able to go out
and set the pace with a time of 55.00, and Jonathan was also
able to get his time in the 55.00's.
The team
P-1 Racing was very happy with Jonathan's performance being
a rookie driver with his Cart Toyota Atlantic Car in
comparison with all the veteran drivers present.
The times given are unofficial best times for the afternoon session
given by Ferdinando Macri:
Hoover Orsi - 54.47, Tony Ave - 54.69, Jonathan Macri - 54.90, Martin
