A little info. New Googles gives you nearly anything other than your search criteria! "I'm old enough to remember when they promised that technology will help us." :whistle:

The first test in 2025 is scheduled for Jerez on the 22nd and 23rd of January, and it’s likely to be a busy one with two days of action before a move to Portimao the following week.
