Virgin became the first new team to run in an official Formula 1 test, with Timo Glock completing the team's first lap in public at Jerez today. The German completed a single installation lap in the Cosworth-engined Virgin VR-01 after team principal John Booth's outfit added new parts to the car that arrived in Spain late last night.
After completing the installation lap, which featured several spectacular moments when the rear-end of the car stepped out in wet conditions, Glock returned to the pits and reported that the car was "all good."
The ex-Toyota driver is scheduled to continue driving today and tomorrow, with teammate Lucas di Grassi taking over for Friday and Saturday.
