Three-day Formula 2 tests have started in Barcelona, Spain. On Wednesday, Australian Virtuosi driver Jack Duane showed the best time.
In the morning, work on the track began with the installation laps, after which the riders worked according to their programs, alternating short and long series. 20 minutes before the end of the session, red flags appeared on the track. The cause was Dennis Hauger’s gravel crash in Turn 3.
The best time was recorded by Campos pilot Kush Maini – 1:24.943 seconds.
After an hour break, the riders continued to work on the track. During the first hours, the riders evaluated the settings and tires on a long series of laps, and towards the end of the day they switched to fast attempts. Then Jack Doohan showed the best time – 1:24.177 seconds.
Again, there were no red flags. This time, Zane Maloney’s actions brought the test to a halt – Rodin Carlin stopped on the track before the eighth turn after a turn.
On Thursday, the tests will continue at 9:00 local time.
