The Jaguar Racing team completed its penultimate three-day testing session
before Melbourne at the Jerez circuit in northern Spain on Thursday.

With both Mark Webber and Christian Klien sharing testing duties for the
second successive day, the team managed substantial mileage with which to
continue its programme of aerodynamic development, tyre evaluation and
general set-up work.

Day one saw Christian Klien running alone, practicing pit stops and basic
set up work. He set a quickest lap of 1m19.272s from his 83 laps of the
circuit. Joining Christian on the second of the three days, Mark confessed
himself happy with the general balance of the R5 and managed a competitive
17 lap run at the end of the day.

"We are pleased with the way the test went," commented head of vehicle
performance, Mark Gillan. "Both Mark and Christian completed significant
mileage over the three days and we managed to complete our scheduled
programme without and hiccups. We now look forward to the final test before
Melbourne in Valencia next week."

Jaguar Racing heads to Valencia next week for its final pre-season test from
17-19 February with both drivers once again on duty.
