The rain that had plagued the team on Wednesday eased off on Thursday, and eventually gave way to bright sunshine. Surprisingly, Toyota found themselves near the bottom of the timesheets despite the improvement in the weather conditions.

Toyota's position on the timesheets is difficult to judge as we currently have no idea what the team were looking at during the course of the 150 or so laps completed by Olivier Panis and Cristiano da Matta.

The session started on a wet track, but a dry line soon started to appear, helped by a clearing sky and some bright sunshine.

Toyota conclude their test in France on Friday.

10 April, Paul Ricard
