On the 6th of September Rafael had the opportunity to test a Formula Palmer Audi at Bedford Autodrome.

This two hour test gave him the opportunity to get used to the impressive peformances of this 300bhp, slicks and wings single seater.

 "I was very impressed by the peformance of the FPA! the acceleration is great and the mechanical grip generated by the big slick tyres is amazing! I think it would still take me another two hour test to get used to the strong braking capabilities of the car, but all in all I now have confidence in the car's grip. When you go through a corner and think this is the fastet you can go, the trick is to go in a little faster the next time round! I am looking forward to take part in the autumn trophy and thank ps-mce for giving me this opportunity!"
