Renault has put its works simulator in Enstone at the disposal of Robert Kubica as the Pole gradually works his way towards an F1 comeback.
Kubica successfully tested a 2012-spec Lotus E20, now owned by Renault, at Valencia last month and Renault has committed to offering their former 32-year-old driver a second test run today at the Circuit Paul Ricard.
As he prepares to go for another spin during which his abilities will be put to the task by Renault, Kubica is hard at work in the team's simulator.
"I was able to try the car in its configuration for this year," he told Sky Italia.
"The day went pretty well, but I do not want to go into details. But yes, I had the opportunity. I was happy and so was the team."
The big question mark is whether the former Renault and BMW driver's right arm is able to cope with the full rigours of life as a F1 driver.
"In my life I've had better days," he answered, "but also much, much worse.
"The current situation is good, I think. Stable and good. Many things have changed in my head, too. I do not have certain limitations that I used to have."
And so Kubica does not hide that he is pushing hard for an F1 comeback.
"If something happens there will be satisfaction, but I just have to keep a cool head," he said.
"The step I took in Valencia was huge and I have to go step by step now. I hope I can get closer to the dream goal -- I will not hide it."
