| Fort Worth, 31 August, 2000 Emanuele Pirro's comment after Thursdays two test sessions |
| "The |
circuit |
is |
quite |
interesting |
and |
well |
done |
but |
| the |
amount |
of |
grip |
is |
so |
low |
that |
it |
feels |
like |
in |
a |
| rally car. There is a chicane to slow us down of the |
banking and is quite well. |
| I |
am |
not |
really |
happy |
with |
the |
setup |
yet |
but |
we |
have some ideas and we will test them." |
| It |
was |
incredible |
hot, |
in |
the |
afternoon |
practice |
session the air was 42°C and the track 56°C." |
