Last week it was Jenson in the Concept. Yesterday it was Jenson again, but in the BAR 006. Now Lucky Strike BAR Honda have broken the Barcelona lap record again, with Takuma Sato lowering the mark in the Concept.

Takuma went out this morning and set a time of 1:13.787 in the BAR Concept, the all-black hybrid machine that is 2003 bodywork and 2004 engine. As with previous record breaking runs at BAR, the lap was done on a low fuel one-lap set up.

Jenson Button is continuing set up and development work on the sole BAR 006, while Takuma will continue with the Concept until the end of the test on Wednesday.
