Scott-Eklund Racing complete first Saab 9-3 wheels-down test in France Dreux, France - Tuesday, March 27, 2012: Scott-Eklund Racing successfully completed its first wheels-down pre-season test at Le Circuit de Rallycross de Dreux in France on Tuesday, March 27, ahead of the teams' debut Global RallyCross Championship season. Lead driver and Team Principal Andy Scott took both 2012 GRC-spec Saab 9-3 two-litre 16 Valve powerhouses rigorously through their paces, covering over 50 laps of the French circuit without a single glitch.  Running in the glorious sunshine in ambient temperatures of up to 24ºC, the Scott-Eklund Racing crew, led by rallycross stalwart and team Technical Director Per Eklund, seamlessly transitioned the cars through each installation phase before completing tyre cycles. With the 600bhp Saabs responding well to technical input, the team gleaned an encouraging measure of performance on base settings and Scott turned up the pace to set continually improving lap times throughout the six hour session.
