Russian Bears Motorsport completed their first tests with the WTCC LADA 110 car at the Dutch track of Zandvoort.

The Russian machine hit the track twice in a few days. On the first occasion Viktor Shapovalov completed only six laps before a visit to the gravel trap prematurely ended his run.

Shapovalov then drove for another 25 laps before handing the controls to his Dutch team-mate Jaap van Lagen who completed a further seven laps.

No technical failures were reported and the team will take part in next week's two-day WTCC official test at Oschersleben.

"The car is running ok, but we need more time to fine tune it," team manager Dmitry Bernikov declared.

LADA are on schedule to make their first appearance in the WTCC at Valencia in three weeks.
