2008 The test team: Chapter 3.
By Renault F1 December 7 2007
Let's see what the 2008 testing programme will be! The ING Renault F1 Team finished its 2007 test programme on the Jerez circuit this week. In accordance with the agreement reached last year between all the teams, a total of 30 000 kilometres private testing is allowed per team per season,

so more than ever it is vitally important to optimise every lap. In January 2008, everybody will start from scratch and all the teams will again have a quota of 30 000 kilometres for the year. Below is the team’s schedule between now and the Australian Grand Prix.

  - January 22-24: Valencia (first shakedown of the R28),
  - February 1-3: Barcelona,
  - February 12-14: Jerez,
  - February 25-27: Barcelona

After the opening flyaway races of the season private testing will resume, and the teams will begin their development programmes. The ING Renault F1 Team has scheduled 8 sessions as follows - bearing in mind the fact that weather or technical priorities may lead to a change of plan.

- April 14-16: Barcelona,
- May 14-16: Paul Ricard,
- June 11-13: Barcelona,
- June 25-27: Silverstone,
- July 9-11: Hockenheim,
- July 23-25: Jerez,
- August 27-29: Monza,
- September 17-19: Jerez.

So three weeks before the start of 2008 the test team already knows its destinations. The logistics have been taken care of, plane tickets and hotel rooms have been booked. In every area of F1 success is not down to coincidence or luck. Organisation and painstaking attention to detail often make the difference.

We should see Alonso in the R28 there.
