Karthikeyan was well off the pace
|
Narain Karthikeyan declared himself satisfied after testing for Jordan at Barcelona's Circuit de Catalunya despite struggling on the time sheets.
Karthikeyan, India's first F1 driver, clocked a best time of 1min 17.59secs, with Portuguese team-mate Tiago Monteiro recording a best of 1:18.67.
They were both over three seconds off the pace of McLaren's Pedro De La Rosa who had a fastest lap of 1:14.54.
Karthikeyan said: "We are quite happy with the progress we have been making."
The two Jordan drivers focused on tyre testing for Bridgestone, chassis set up work in preparation for the season-opening Australian Grand Prix in March as well as practising pit stops.
Karthikeyan: "I did 74 laps on Thursday and we tried a lot of new things with the car, especially tyre work for Bridgestone.
"We also carried out some set-up changes."
