Selline uudis siis:
An alternative headline for this news story could just as well have been The calm before the storm, as things have finally slowed down at JAS Motorsport’s workshop in Arluno west of Milan. It is the night before the big two-day test for many of the WTCC participants will start at Monza in Italy, and it will be the venue of Markko Märtin, Monaco, having his first drive in the Honda Accord Euro-R that he will be driving in this year’s Danish Touringcar Championship.
“What you cannot see in the picture are the 10 guys from JAS working flat-out to get the team’s own car ready for Pierre-Yves Corthals,” Alex Frederichsen, team manager of Hartmann Honda Racing says.
“There are some details that still need to be made on our curs, such as the gills in the front of the spoilers, but that is what happens, when you want the 2006 kit before it has been made.”
Markko Märtin still has to see his new racing car. The Estonian will not arrive until Tuesday morning, when the test starts at Monza, while the team’s other driver, Martin Jensen, Albertslund, is travelling in from USA, where he took part in the 12 hours of Sebring.
A total of 34 cars are entered for the Monza test, and apart from Hartmann Honda Racing’s to car Peugeot Sport Denmark is also present with the Peugeot 407 that Jens Edman, Sweden, will be driving.

The DTC teams may test in the dry today
After yesterday’s showers at Monza the weather forecast looks better for Peugeot Sport Danmark and Hartmann Honda Racing, who are in Italy to test with the participants in the WTCC field.
"There are just some wet spots on the tarmac, and it has yet to rain, so I think it will be possible to have some dry track testing," team owner Hans Hartmann says. Yesterday was the first day he spent face to face with his new driver, Markko Märtin, Monaco.
"I’m very much impressed by him. After just two laps in the car the returns to the pits and asks for the first changes to be made to the set-up."

Hartmann’s midfield pair
Märtin and Jensen two seconds behind the fastest drivers
Wednesday’s first test for the drivers in the World Touring Car Championship at Monza is completed, and during that test Hartmann Honda Racing’s new pairing were accredited with lap times of 2.03,0 with the team’s Estonian driver marginally quick of the pair.
Neither Martin Jensen, Albertslund, nor Markko Märtin, Monaco, are entered for the WTCC series, and thus the lap times are not official, but if they had been, the drivers would have been placed roughly in the midfield of the 34 car field. Heading the field is Salvatore Tavoni, Italy, who has lapped in 2.01,2 in his Alfa Romeo 156 GTA.
On the contrary Jens Edman, Sweden, is lacking more speed. The Sweden has been recorded with a time of 2.03,9, and the lone Peugeot 407 is thus placed as number 28 in the WTCC field.

Markko Märtin’s first Danish test
The Estonian sampled a wet FDM Jyllandsringen for the first time
On Wednesday Markko Märtin could for the first climb aboard his Honda Accord Euro-R and roll out to test at a Danish circuit. The place was FDM Jyllandsringen, which due its many corners is known to shock new drivers. But that was not exactly what bothered the new Hartmann Honda Racing driver.
”There are many corners, that’s for sure,” the Estonian DTC newcomer said. “It was quite slippery today, so it is not easy, but okay, we have to work on a set-up for the car. It is the first time for me in Denmark, so we got some ideas about what we want to do, and hopefully we can do it next time.”
The test took place in just 6 degrees, and even though there were some small showers, the circuit stayed damp throughout the day. It meant that Markko Märtin was seen pressing the car over its limits in the double left hander leading the cars from the main straight to the spectators straight.
“It was not only in that corner that it happened. It happened in many corners,” Markko Märtin admitted afterwards. “It was so slippery and I was sliding in many places. We didn’t have much grip at all, it was difficult to hold the lines and it was easy to loose the back end.”
The professional rally driver has no race experience, but he does not yet feel any need to change his driving style.
”There is no big rush to change any things, because I have to understand what is going on first. I will try to do as many laps as possible and try as many different things as possible and see what happens. That is the only way to do it, so I don’t know what to change at the moment.”
Other teams at the test were Den Blå Avis Fleggaard Racing, who was running one of their brand-new BMW 320si E90s for the first time in Denmark. Both Jan Magnussen and Henrik Lundgaard drove the car, while Pontus Mörth was reunited with the Volvo S60 that saw the Swede score his and the marque’s first win back in 2004. Finally series newcomer Michael Outzen was also running, but unfortunately got little mileage due to a suspension breakdown.
