The team have confirmed that the new car for 2005, the SA-04V, will be presented on Friday February 11th on the same day as the Japan's National Foundation Day.

Lawrence commented at the Silverstone track, where the team is now running its first test session outside of Suzuka as the decision being "...a sufficient amount of time to develop the car to a high level of competitiveness..."

Due to the recent war of words between Phoenix and Mapes-VO, the Simsoa mechanics looked understandably apprehensive as they began the team's test programme with the SA-04T and kept their heads down!
