Spyker delay 'B' car debut
Turkey debut restored

May 12 (GMM) After accelerating the proposed debut of its 'B spec' car, Spyker officials say they have now reverted to the original Turkish GP target.

Technical chief Mike Gascoyne explained at Barcelona that he has decided that the 'B' car can not be ready for the earlier-targeted debut date of late July, at the Nurburgring.

As originally intended, then, the car will now race for the first time in Istanbul some four weeks later, according to the Dutch magazine Formule 1 Race Report.

"Unfortunately it is not possible to race the new car before the Turkish grand prix," Gascoyne said at the Circuit de Catalunya, "because we want to thoroughly test it first."

A record crowd in excess of 100,000 is expected for qualifying at the Spanish grand prix venue Circuit de Catalunya on Saturday.
