F1 Testing 2010

Yep, makes sense to test cars in a proven/known track to start off with. Jerez (for example) has been used for yonks in terms of testing. Kinda a shame the Spanish GP isn't there, much better track than Barcelona imo.

Money talks though.
 
I must say I would prefer they did ALL testing on non GP tracks. Barcalona is ruined by the fact every team and driver have done 1 gazillion miles round it already. Plus, it would allow them to go to a number of areas where F1 wouldnt normally go, and allow a number of new fans to see the cars.
 
Added some news to OP - USF1 will be testing in the US at a circuit in Alabama.
 
Only one week until the testing begins.. not long till the start of the season too :D
 
Aye, definitely going up on one of the last Jerez day tests (17th/18th/19th) with Alex53 who posts here and is a dab hand at photography - which I aint.

Just going to hold off and see which day will be best attended (team-wise). Last year we tried sneaking round the ciruit in order to get a better view, Jerez was being renovated (stands-wise) for Moto GP iirc. Should be done now, though they have a tendency of only opening stands up for testing depending on how many people attend. Still, was only 5 euros each for the day. Anyone else thinking of heading down? Im guessing flights to Jerez will be relatively cheap from the UK.
 
Just heard that rivals are already questioning legality of McLaren diffuser :)

They said themselves something like it was an extreme interpretation, but they sought FIA clarification along the way.

Wonder if it will be another Brawn GP etc. situation with other teams going to appeal?
