Virgin test driver Luiz Razia has completed 35 laps of Silverstone's new Stowe circuit in a chassis based on the 2006 Super Aguri, powered by Cosworth and shod with Avon tyres.
The car is part of FV10's 'Driver Experience', the concept of which is to supply and run interim F1 cars which will allow drivers to gain F1 experience without contravening any of the current test restrictions or regulations.
Based on the 2006 Super Aguri chassis's and powered by Cosworth's 2006 TJ series V10 - which were run that season by Williams and Toro Rosso - the cars are designed, built, prepared and run by FV10's team of highly experienced ex-F1 personnel headed up by former Williams and Sauber man Tim Preston.
Razia, who ran on tyres especially developed for the FV10 programme by Avon, completed the test with no major issues.
