Successful Pre-season testing for N.Algieri
Naldo Algieri has completed his pre-season testing at Hooton Park with
the team and tested the new TKM slicks tyres that have been introduced
into the class for this season on his last test day. The day was extremely
productive as the weather held up throughout the day to give Naldo several
runs in dry conditions. This allowed the team to start to build up test
data based on these new tyres and also gave Naldo some much needed track
time on the new tyres so that he could adjust his driving to suit the
increased levels of grip.
Precision Racing's Co-Team Manager Jake Coward commented "The team
are extremely excited about Naldo's prospects in the CHKRC Championship
this year, looking at his performance on the new tyres we are confident
he can be a front runner this season and hopefully get a few wins under
his belt. His performances and pace really began to come on towards the
end of last season and we are looking to start this season on the front
foot and build from there for a sucessful 2010 season." (Posted
