Silverstone Test 28-30 May 2002 / Day 2

It was a difficult day's testing for the Panasonic Toyota Racing team at Silverstone today. Race drivers Mika Salo and Allan McNish completed only 36 laps between them as intermittent rain throughout the day affected the team's test programme.

Mika Salo

 
Chassis:
TF102/03

Laps completed:

16

Best time:

1m25.90s

"It has been a very difficult day for us today. We have not been able to do any of the programme we had planned. This morning was spent fixing the car after Stephane's crash yesterday and this afternoon was wasted because of the weather. I sincerely hope we get some serious running done tomorrow."

Allan McNish

 
Chassis:
TF102/05

Laps completed:

20

Best time:

1m25.47s

"We had a problem early on today with the transmission which lost us the morning session. Inclement weather prevented us from much work in the afternoon apart from a few runs concentrating on car balance. On a positive note though it has been nice to see so many fans here."

Weather conditions:

Dry start intermittent heavy showers in the afternoon.

Temperatures:

Air - Min 13°C Max 19°C
Track - Min 17°C Max 25°C

Mika and Allan will conclude this three-day Silverstone test tomorrow hoping for a change in weather conditions.
