As per the title i'm testing at Silverstone on Friday and have never been round in a road car never mind the Tuscan, is there anything you more experienced chaps want to share??

If memory serves, and if it was the national track last year in DTEC, the drivers were starting cold lap times of circa 1:04 - 1:05's, progressing on to hotter laps of circa 1:02's. Mike was quicker (no surprise there). Maybe some of the drivers have saved their timing sheets from last year? Also, have a word with Jason (he was testing his new Tuscan there earlier this week) wink Sneaky, eh?

Run it softer to start with Christian, think tyre temps. also keep a good look at the water temp gauge AJP's don't last to long if they are not over 80 degrees boxedin
