Monza Test 09-12 July 2002 - Day 2

Allan McNish and the Panasonic Toyota Racing team had a busy schedule on the second day of testing at the Autodromo di Monza today. Completing 71 laps the Scot concentrated predominantly on aerodynamics but also launch control mechanical set-up and on finding the cause of the clutch problem that left him stranded on the grid in Silverstone last weekend.
