With Arthur Leclerc driving the 1 F75-2022, with sprayguards and Oliver Bearman driving the 24 SF-2024, without sprayguards. The main purpose of these tests is to determine to what extent visibility changes caused by water kicked up by full wet tires. Based on the opening or closing during the day.
