After a first test at Valencia, Leopard Racing continued developing and setting up its two Volkswagen Golf Gti TCR cars at Magny-Cours.
In good weather conditions, but with cold temperatures, the Stefano Comini and Jean-Karl Vernay could not push the tyres to the limit, although they were able to complete several laps using two different configurations.

Comini said: “We worked a lot throughout the day. There were some teething problems, but we were still able to learn more about the car. Everything we tried went in the right direction and we hope that this information will be useful for the first event.”

Vernay added: “Weather conditions were not ideal and we struggled to heat the tyres up. In any case it was a good test that allowed us to continue improving our knowledge of the car. We gathered data that will be important for the upcoming races.”
