In a last minute dash to improve Toyota’s uncompetitive 2007 racer, German driver Ralf Schumacher has reportedly donated the use of his private jet.
While the Japanese squad run for two final days at the Jerez circuit this week, the 31-year-old has apparently told team chiefs that they can use his new plane to ferry updated parts from the Cologne factory to their Spanish test location.
Toyota’s technical boss Pascal Vasselon is quoted as saying by the newspaper ‘Express’: “It is an admirable offer.”
