Jaguar's new boy Eddie Irvine set the fastest time today, on the second day of the testing session in Jerez.

Irvine was less than a tenth faster than second place Pedro Diniz in a Sauber, but over a second faster than teammate Johnny Herbert, who ran on an old set of tyres. The McLaren pair of David Coulthard and Olivier Panis were fourth and fifth respectively.
