After his debut on Tuesday with iSport, enhancing his performance over the course of the day, the Argentine driver managed by Adrin Campos finished first during Wednesdays wet session at Circuit de Catalunya, showing in this way his talent and potential speed.
The young Argentine driver debuted on Tuesday at the wheel of an iSports car and, after his learning period in the morning, he was able to have a very good race pace during the race simulation scheduled by his team. This first day proved worth for the second day, this time with Racing Engineering.
Despite the fact that he has never driven this car in the wet, his adaptation period was really quick and he set a best lap of 1:51.799. This time and his 2nd best one were not beaten by other drivers, even when the track conditions got better at the end of the morning.
In the afternoon, the season was severely red-flagged and he couldnt improve his 1:32.337, and in addition he doesnt know how new tyres exactly work. Anyway, in wet, the conditions when the talent is tested he was able to beat his rivals by three tenths, and only driver under 1:52 mark.
I feel really happy. My experience the first day was pretty useful for Wednesday. This car is the fastest that Ive never driven so far, and in wet conditions I adapted quickly. No doubts that to be first in my debut, and in wet conditions, its more than expected, Regalia said. In the afternoon, my previous results were a morale booster. With used tyres I was in top-six, half a second slower than P1 time and five tenths ahead of my teammate Melker. Then, with new tyres, the traffic was terrible and red flags didnt help either to complete a clear lap. My lap of 1:32.2 was set losing no less than five tenths in sector three passing other car. I think our pace was good enough to climb into top-5. Anyway I finish the day very happy. Yesterday was important for learning and today to finish as well as possible. I think we managed to do it. Im grateful for people who helped me to be here today, and of course Ive my best words for iSport and Racing Engineering. It was an amazing experience.
With no time for resting, Regalia is approaching the last European F3 Open meeting, scheduled at Circuit de Catalunya where he will drive a Campos Racing Dallara F312 once again, and hes eying front places.
