14th March 2008
The Autodromo di Monza burst into life, as the 2008 FIA GT Championship officially
launched, with a thrilling two-day test session.
The busy first day saw the sun shine at the magnificent Italian circuit where
the hard charging Scottish GT racers Scuderia Ecosse, maximised the three one
hour sessions, ending the day with a fantastic time of 1’51.313.
Day two saw the sun shine on the team once again and the lap times tumble.
Jamie Davies setting an utterly stunning lap of 1’50.358! This lap remained
at the top of the time sheets and the mood in the team was euphoric.
The new and improved tyres from Pirelli played their part too, resulting in
another stellar performance, which enabled the team to confidently battle it
out with the throng of GT2 teams, all vying for the top step of the podium.
A truly classic season lies ahead for all!
Jamie Davies said "It is always good to be back on the official racing
scene. Day one went well and I am more than happy with the team and the tyres.
Day two was just awesome and to top the time sheets rounds off a perfect test.
This test has proved that the Monteblanco test was very useful and the tyres
Pirelli have produced are a definite step up”.
