Jerez packs them in for F1 test

A big crowd just to watch testing

If anyone was in any doubt as to why there are two F1 races in Spain on the 2008 calendar plus a Champ Car race at Jerez, they only had to turn up at the Jerez de la Frontera circuit today, where it seemed that most of the locals must have called in sick. The grandstands were completely packed out and it took teams two and a half hours to fight their way through 12 kilometers of traffic to get to the airport.
