Despite the fact that the British American Racing team suffered further engine failures during last week’s testing session at the Valencia circuit, Shuhei Nakamoto, Engineering Director, Honda Racing Development is confident that progress has been made on their 2005 powerplant.
"We've made some progress this week on some ancillaries and the engine software, and will continue to work hard to meet the tough challenge of the new regulations in the forthcoming tests," he said.
Last week was the second test since the official launch of the new BAR007 and for the first time the Brackley based squad ran two of the new chassis and covered almost 3000 testing kilometers.
