14th December - Engine problems for Zonta, Day 2 at Valencia.


Jordan-Honda drivers Heinz-Harald Frentzen and Ricardo Zonta took to the track for their the second day of testing at Valencia.

Heinz-Harald concentrated on Bridgestone tyre testing, running several long runs to compete a total of 87 laps for the day. Zonta ran 22 laps in the morning focussing on set up and balancing work as well as some vibration tests on the EJ10.

The afternoon saw a rear suspension set up change on Zonta’s car but the team experienced problems with the Mugen engine, which halted the Brazilian’s session for the day.

Both drivers will continue tomorrow the 15th of December for the final day of testing before the team heads off to Barcelona next week.
