Toro Rosso to run new car at Jerez

NEWS STORY
20/01/2012

While it has yet to announce a launch date, Toro Rosso has confirmed that its 2012 contender will run at the first pre-season test at Jerez.

Confirming that the STR7 will run at Jerez, where testing gets underway on 7 February, the Italian team revealed that the car has passed all the mandatory crash tests.

"Having previously passed various static crash tests, today, our new car passed all remaining FIA crash tests," read a statement on the team website. "These are compulsory for all cars that will compete in the world championship and this year they were even more stringent, as the sport's governing body continues to pursue safety as one of its main aims in the sport.

"In addition, a new rule for 2012 stipulates that only cars that have passed all tests will be able to take part in the forthcoming winter test sessions in Spain, whereas in the past, cars could test but not race prior to passing the tests."

In December, the Faenza outfit announced an all-new driver line-up for this season with Daniel Ricciardo and Jean-Eric Vergne (right) replacing Sebastien Buemi and Jaime Alguersuari.

Sauber and Red Bull are both due to unveil their cars on the eve of the test at the Jerez track.
