Photography by Bobby Trundley, Frozenspeed and Lucy Sheehan. **Testing Report from Portimao** It is certainly no mean feat transporting a whole racing team to Portugal for pre-season testing. To help us with the move we had two specialist truck drivers double manning our DAF XF truck who did an amazing job to get the McLaren there on time despite some customs delays. The drivers and crew flew out a few days early for some team building and were refreshed and ready to spring into action when everything arrived. Bobby and Aaron love the new car and managed to rack up 1600 trouble free KMS over the 3 days. The above serves as crucial preparation for Team BRIT as we head into our most competitive championship yet. We shared the circuit with other teams from all over Europe who had travelled to Portugal to benefit from the warmer weather. I hope you enjoyed following the Team’s progress on [social media](https://www.facebook.com/TeamBRIT).
