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 Basso - 55.00, Michael Valiante - 55.57(only 12 laps, problems), Grant Ryley - 56.71(problems), T.J.
