The RAM Team testing the new March 781

Are you sure this is a test? As the race report says, the car was an unused T-car in Round 1.

The car mentioned in the report as an unused T-car is the 781 no doubt about that. Question is was it a spare car or T-car, whatever you prefer to call it? I don't think it was. The car only had a brief shake down to see if all systems worked the Monday before the race and rain prevented further testing. It came into action 3 weeks later during R3. So yes, the car was in the paddock, but I think there was no intention of using it, not even when the race car would have had a problem.

I can upload it into RbR as well, using the same text as above if you like.

I think it's a good idea.
