The European Round Starts Here!

The fourth race of the season will be held at the Catalunya Circuit, located in the suburbs of Barcelona. The circuit is always under heavy use during the season and winter testing, so each team already has a large volume of accumulated data. Many teams are expected to introduce new aero parts at this race, and it will be very interesting to see the development of the TF108. Last year, both cars retired from the race, but this year, we expect great things from Jarno and Timo.

2007 grand prix
The fourth race, the Spanish GP was held on May 13, 2007. Jarno qualified at P6, but the fuel pressure in his car dropped off immediately prior to the start of the race, killing his engine. Jarno started the race from the pit lane, but was forced to retire after only eight laps. Ralf started from P17, but came into contact with another car immediately after the start of the race. Ralf’s nose cone came loose during the 46th lap, forcing him to pull out of the race.
