FSW TEST (2nd time at Fuji Speedway)

After the design changes made a live test run on an open track was done for high speed and high load conditions.
This was not a proper run but just a test to find anything that needs to be addressed.
The test was to get a better understanding of the cars new characteristics and feel with the new dynamics of the new design. Works in the pits goes through smoothly before driving test. With balance of all the products and parts in place for each specific function.
With the airjacks fitted it greatly helps with quick and efficient maintenance and car access to setups.
The improvements with adjustments went well and the high speed and high load tests were cleared without any problems. The next test will focus more on detailed settings and refinements.
After the test was completed, media staff was given access to photoshoot the car and ask questions.
