Sweden's Philip Forsman set the fastest time in yesterday's International Formula Master test in Hungary, driving for AR Motorsport. The Formula Renault graduate set his best time in 1:45.900 on a drying track, following overnight downpours.
Driving for Jenzer Motorsport, Nico Muller was second fastest, posting a quickest lap of 1:47.100, ahead of team-mate Gary Thompson. The Irish 17-year-old, currently ranked second in Formula BMW Pacific, completed his best lap in 1:47.500.
Brazilian Cesar Ramos claimed the morning's fastest time in 2:05.799, whilst his best time overall of 1:48.100 ranked him fourth. Iris Project pair Mikkel Mac and Phillippe Frommenwiler were fifth and sixth respectively with times of 1:48.900 and 1:49.200.
JD Motorsport tester Riccardo Galli, from Switzerland, was seventh, with a best time of 1:49.900, with Italy's Andrea Roda eighth fastest for Cram Competition with a 1:50.400 lap.
Today concluded two day of rookie evaluation for the International Formula Master teams at the Hungaroring in Hungary.
Philip Forsman, AR Motorsport"The car felt so much more like a racing car than what I've driven before, I only tested in the morning session yesterday and was third fastest. We worked on a drying track all day today but I managed to be fastest which is great.
"The grip is great with this car but I had to be very smooth to avoid any wheel spin. I raced with AR Motorsport this season just gone and I hope to be back next year with them in IFM."
Nico Muller, Jenzer Motorsport"I'm quite happy with today although I didn't drive too much; only 30-odd laps in the afternoon. The track was tricky today so we focused on getting as much running as possible without taking risks but still set a good time."
Gary Thompson, Jenzer Motorsport"IFM is a good option and a brilliant car, which is why I wanted to test this week. The test was ok, the car has a lot more downforce than I'm used to but we still got to set some decent times today despite the drying conditions."
