Testing is defined as any track running time in which a competitor is using cars which were designed and built in order to comply with the 2013, 2014 or 2015 Formula One Technical Regulations.

What TR did was probably engine test which is not limited by the sporting rules:
"5.2 Steady State and Dynamic engine dynamometer work with an F1 car or subcomponent may be performed (and therefore not within the definition of Restricted Wind Tunnel Testing) provided that :
a) The bodywork used in the test has no front wing assembly (Articles 3.7.2 to 3.7.8 of the F1 Technical Regulations) or rear wing assembly (the whole of Article 3.10 of the F1 Technical Regulations) present.
b) No devices designed to measure directly or indirectly aerodynamic forces or flow field characteristics are installed in the facility used.
c) No sensor installed on the car or subcomponent which are capable of measuring displacements, pressures or air flow direction of the external airstream resulting directly or indirectly from the incident air flow may be logged. Logging files have to be available, if required, during the independent benchmarking inspection.
d) The gas flow exiting from the exhaust system is ducted away from the testing area before impacting on any bodywork component (other than the exhaust itself)."

Just bring back unlimited testing.

*please do not swear, that also means abbreviating it/them aswell*

Thankyou
