TestDay

Fort Worth, 31 August, 2000

Emanuele Pirro's comment after Thursdays two test sessions

"The circuit is quite interesting and well done but the amount of grip is so low that it feels like in a rally car. There is a chicane to slow us down of the banking and is quite well.

I am not really happy with the setup yet but we have some ideas and we will test them."

It was incredible hot, in the afternoon practice session the air was 42°C and the track 56°C."
