ByKolles Racing head of operations Boris Bermes described the two-day run with the Vanwall Vandervell LMH non-hybrid prototype at the Most circuit in the Czech Republic “as a very good first test for a new car”.
“It was planned as something between a shakedown and a test, but everything went well and it turned into a real test,” Bermes told Motorsport.com.
“We have now sorted all the important things and can start planning a proper test programme.
“The next step is to go to different circuits and to test in different conditions.”
The Vanwall, which is powered by the Gibson normally-aspirated V8, completed more than 100 laps of the 2.62-mile Autodrom Most on Thursday and then a little less on the second day of the test because the weather deteriorated.
Honda’s Touring Car World Cup race winner Esteban Guerrieri, who was named as one of two test drivers along with Tom Dillmann for the programme last year, completed the majority of the running in the new car.
