Good morning and welcome to Santa Pod Raceway for our coverage of the Main Event Test Day. It's currently 13C with wind of 20mph from the south west and we've had light showers for most for most of the morning. The track crew have as usual been on top of the weather and the surface has been dried, however as the precipitation is persisting there will be more of a pause before testing can commence.

We'll let you know as soon as conditions improve sufficiently to allow running to take place.
