The Spyker F1 team has brought forward its planned b-spec 2007 car introduction in a bid to boost its performance this season. The team had originally planned to debut a new car in Turkey, but will now make an appearance a month sooner at the Nurburgring in July.
"We're actually bringing it forward to Germany," confirmed Spyker's chief technical officer Mike Gascoyne. "It's less of an update because we're doing more updates earlier. The Malaysia package wasn't originally planned, and we're doing some parts for Barcelona, and hopefully there will be a package for Monaco. So we're doing more sooner, which is good."
"It's a new rear end, new gearbox, new radiator layout, new bodywork, and so on," he explained. "Everyone's working hard. We already know that aerodynamically it will be a fairly major step, and there will be a big improvement in the stability of the rear of the car. We're going from rotary to linear dampers; when I was at Toyota we found that change to be a big step forward in terms of controlling the rear of the car. So we're pretty confident that we'll make progress."
