Ferrari's heavily revised F60 made its track debut on Friday.

The new package, up to 15 kilograms lighter than the original 2009 version according to Italian reports, is undergoing straight line testing with Marc Gene behind the wheel.

The saved weight, in all areas including the material used for the seat belts, will benefit Ferrari's use of KERS, culminating in what they hope is a lap-time gain of several tenths.

Why are the only team to test? Test is ban nowdays! i am totally confused!
are they doing this legal???????????????????????

Straight line testing isn't illegal.

**MasTaBlau** · 05-02-2009, 03:00 PM

The difference is they don't turn into corners

so what do they do when they get to the end of the straight - turn around and go back

**JeffStewart** · 05-02-2009, 04:19 PM

so when they get to the end of the straight do they turn around and go back again

**nitivearchit** · 05-02-2009, 04:27 PM

Yup. No turning allowed. When they get to the end of the straight they destroy the chassis and then build a new one. So much for max's cost cutting measures!!

They use Hamilton's crane to lift them, then swing the car around, lower the car, then drive back.

Straightline testing is a form of shakedown, and it is allowed. You can't do much testing with it, other than to make sure that the car runs.

**MasTaBlau** · 05-03-2009, 02:36 AM

straight line testing is with the FIA boys around to check what are they doing?
Can they test in close doors lets say ferrari in fiorano doing like testing other cars with different drivers(lets say they paint the car black) ...! who can check this?

**onelovemp** · 05-03-2009, 02:44 AM

No, they put it on reverse...

**DeedPatmeda** · 05-03-2009, 05:23 AM

No, they put it on reverse...

Checks are not required, for the Scuderia would never cheat.

**MasTaBlau** · 05-03-2009, 05:13 PM

mclaren cheated so many times so they should watch them...

**Lenkapuppia** · 05-03-2009, 09:41 PM

But is zigzagging on the 'straight' allowed?

Or put some cones on the straight and try to emulate corners?
