I know it's no real reflection (or is it?) as it'd early days.............. And suddenly the Ilmor seems where it belongs. Hope not! Rocket | ||

Yup 1:35+ is way off the pace but allegedly it's an 'evaluation' ride on the Ilmor for McWilliams and Pitt. McWilliams beat McCoy's best lap in Sunday's race. | ||

McCoy was beset with problems in the race on Sunday and pretty much limped around (relatively speaking of course!) the whole time unfortunately. I am a little surprised that McCoy isn't at the test for Ilmor as well, seeing as he has the most experience of the bike so far. Like I said in another post, Ilien wants small riders but the final choice may be down to outside sponsors. |
