“We had a very positive test last week and I am looking forward to putting some of the gains we made into practice on the race track. Obviously it will be important to get as much track time as possible in the practice and qualifying sessions so I can become comfortable with the place.”

Opening practice gets underway on Friday with an extended single session before Saturday hosts qualifying, the top ten shootout and the opening race. The first reverse grid race since 2002 will be carried out on Sunday morning before the final sprint for the weekend during the afternoon.
