Newnet sponsored Formula Ford racer Nathan concluded his final test at Donington Park prior to this weekends race meeting by setting the fastest lap of the day. The days testing had been frustrating with the first session being shortened by oil being dropped on the track after only 2 laps, and the 2nd session a mixture of damp and dry making the setup and testing a bit of a lottery. Even so Nathan was the quickest in the session which was red flagged prematurely after another car buried itself in the gravel trap. However the last session of the day was dry and although the track was crowded nathan was circulating as the quickest car, until he fond some clear space and set the fastest lap of the day by 7 tenths of a second from any other driver. Satisfied with the performance nathan commented ` it was good to set such a quick time, the car was good to drive, but it will count for nothing if we do not translate it into results on Saturday and Sunday, we are very hopeful after this.`
