Panasonic Toyota Racing concluded its test at Sepang in Malaysia today, a day later than originally intended. Rain yesterday gave the team the opportunity to extend the test and Franck Montagny was drafted in for an extra day of driving. Franck s task was again to finetune the TF107 in advance of the Malaysian Grand Prix and, after yesterday s rain, conditions in the morning were perfect. Franck needed a precautionary engine change but rapid work from the mechanics to complete the work saw him back on track just over an hour later and several set-ups were tried to give the team more vital information as the race weekend at Sepang draws near.
