Steve Farrell BAR's Chief Engineer said: "Olivier and David Lloyd continued Jacques and Jock Clear's sterling efforts as they worked through another extensive session for the final day of testing. We have tried a significant number of set-up variations to get to know the car for Melbourne and we feel well prepared for the race. Overall a very productive and successful test".
Malcolm Oastler BAR's Technical Director added: "This has been a massive effort by the test team and drivers and to complete over 2000 kms at a test with one car is a measure of their endeavors. The information we have collected will enable us to go to Melbourne better prepared than ever before".
