Jordan Grand Prix began a two car test at
Barcelona’s Circuit de Catalunya today with Narain Karthikeyan and Tiago Monteiro driving. In his Jordan Toyota EJ15 Karthikeyan
completed 80 laps and set a time of 1:19.09, just 2.5 seconds off the pace of Michael Schumacher who was the fastest Bridgestone
driver. Monteiro added 86 laps to the test mileage in a development EJ14 chassis.
Narain Karthikeyan said, "I did
80 laps today which is the most I ever did in one day in a Formula 1 car. It was pretty exciting. But I also understand that I have
to learn very much in a very short time. And I am prepared for it."
