Scuderia Toro Rosso will puts its 2018 charger on the track before pre-season testing kicks off at Barcelona on February 26.

The Faenza-based squad will use one of its two authorized promotional film days to shake down the Honda-powered STR13 at Misano on February 21, four days before its official presentation in Barcelona.

Film days allow a team to run up to 100km of mileage on special tyres provided by Pirelli for the occasion.

They are often used by teams to check all systems before heading into pre-season testing.

Teams will enjoy four days of testing starting on February 26 at the Circuit de Catalunya and then resume their on-track preparations, also in Barcelona, for an additional four days on March 6.
