Pirelli to use 2010 Renault for tyre testing

Official tyre supplier Pirelli have announced they will replace their current Toyota TF109 test car with the more contemporary Renault R30 for this season. The 2010 car will be adapted to simulate the latest technical and aerodynamic regulations to aid tyre development. With official in-season testing limited to one further session at Mugello in May, a test programme with a contemporary car will play a vital part in Pirelli's tyre development throughout the year.
