Season Review
Testing
The two official F1RWRS pre-season tests took place at Jerez on the 27th-28th January, and at Estoril on the 10th-11th February. With the omission of a third test, teams were encourage to organise their own pre-season tests with the majority of the teams choosing home locations. A Young Drivers Test was held later in the season at Monza.
