The 2008 GP2 car  made an impressive clean debut yesterday morning in Le Castellet during the first test session of the season. For the first test session of the 2008 season, the new GP2 car proved to be very reliable with 455 laps  covered  in  total  in  the  three-hour  morning  session,  which  equals  to  1753  km  on  the  Paul Ricard circuit.

25 cars out of the 26 ran while Nunes’ DPR stayed in the box as the mechanics were still working on some set-ups.
