I support Jonny Reid, and feel sorry for van der Drift. NZ is flooded with young talent and Giltrap is a Saint in my book. However, apparently he would like to see a young driver make it to the very top and some people thought Jonny had his chances.
The reason for using Jonny for the testing was probably because his feedback is good and never having sat in the car before, he was starting with a clean sheet of paper.
The software issues need resolving and this year is a tough year wiht anw car, and from what I gather, the new car was no faster than old one at Taupo, which is a bit of a Mickey Mouse track.
Jonny is still named a a team member for A1GP and later in the seson, he maty well run.
