Narain all set for German GP

The Jordan drivers finalised their preparations for German and Hungarian Grands Prix, the third consecutive double-header of the season, with a last two-day test session on July 14 and 15, before F18217;s summer testing ban. Karthikeyan said he would concentrate on learning the lay out in the first free practice session tomorrow.

8220;Therefore, I will have to spend the first sessions learning the layout, but I am up for the challenge.8221;

The drivers are looking forward to driving on the Hockenheim ring, a circuit which was until 2002 one of the fastest on the F1 calendar with incredibly long straights and speeds well over 200mph.

Now that it has been replaced by a tighter track, requiring a higher level of downforce, it will be even more important to find the right car set-up and balance.

Karthikeyan8217;s teammate Tiago Monteiro of Portugal felt it was not a difficult circuit to learn and was looking to keep up his good record of finishing the race.
