For immediate release: 20 January 1995

Reigning British Touring Car Champion, Gabriele Tarquini joined the 
Tyrrell Yamaha Formula 1 team today, Friday, to test a 1994 022 car at 
southern Spain's Jerez circuit. The 32 year old Italian, who has 
contested 37 Grands Prix but hasn't driven a Formula 1 car since 1992, 
drove alongside team regular Ukyo Katayama during the third of tour 
days scheduled testing with two chassis.

Ukyo Katayama evaluated a different version of Yamaha's new 3-litre 
V10. 1995 engine, fitted to a 1994 022 chassis. Once again the engine 
performed well and Ukyo recorded 40 timed laps, with a best lap time of 
1 min 24.88 sec for the 4.428 kms circuit, running on part-worn tyres. 
The chassis uses the innovative 1995 suspension being developed for the 
new 023 car, Ukyo's latest time virtually matches his qualifying time 
for last year's Grand Prix, set with a 3.5-litre engine.

"Ukyo and the entire team had another good day's testing and we are 
making significant progress with both the new engine and our 1995 
suspension system" commented Mike Gascoyne, Tyrrell's Deputy Technical 
Director.

Gabriele Tarquini completed 37 timed laps at the wheel of a 1994 
Tyrrell Yamaha 022 powered by a K-specification version of the 
3.5-litre Yamaha V10 engine. "Gabriele did an extremely competent job 
today" said Mike Gascoyne. "He spent some time getting used to Formula 
1 power again and was very clear about setting up the chassis. His 
quickest time was 1 min 24.48 sec."

The Tyrrell Yamaha team will continue its test programme tomorrow, when 
another version of Yamaha's 3-litre V1 0 will be fined to one of the 
022 cars for evaluation by Tarquini - having his second outing with 
Tyrrell Yamaha. Newcomer, Frenchman Emmanuel Collard, will test the 
other 022 fined with a fresh 3.5-litre engine.
