2nd of May. We were one of the first two or three teams on site for this year's
Preliminary Tests, and we set straight to work getting our assigned garage area
set up and ready to work in. As you can see, the garages open on pit lane at
the front, and the trucks back up to the rear of the garages.
Once the car was unloaded, Dave Schnorr got busy applying the trademark Champion
livery to the newly-painted R8. First thing Friday morning the car was taken
to Scrutineering, or technical inspection, where it was thoroughly checked out
by the ACO. Friday afternoon we took the car to the local airfield for a rollout
test of systems and to allow all three of our drivers to have a turn at the
controls. All went well on the airfield, and preparations began for the Tests
themselves.
