BRYANT TESTS PORSCHE 997 AT THE OFFICIAL FIA GT3 CHAMPIONSHIP TEST

Monday 1st May 2006


Oliver Bryant tested the Porsche 997 for the first at Paul Ricard with Tech 9 Motorsport last week as a part of the official FIA test to evaluate the performance of the various marques prior to the opening round at Silverstone on May the 6 and 7th.

The 2 days were split for the running in of the cars and this was completed successfully with no problems with either of the cars.

Tech 9 boss Phil Hindley:

Oliver Bryant is the only confirmed driver for us this year, although Dimitris Deverikos, our British GT Champion from last year, was one of the others,” continues Hindley. “On the first day, the best from our drivers was a 2:14.2, with an improvement to a 2:13.8 on the second day. Bouchut tested one of our cars and set a 2:13.2.” Hindley was very pleased with the mileage covered each day (over 100 laps), and the reliability of the Tech 9 Porsches.
