Successful testing day for Facu Regalia at Estoril

Facu Regalia tested several different settings with his ART Grand Prix GP3/13, both in dry and wet conditions. Despite the fact that thesessions were red-flagged a  number of times, Regalia finished happy with the work completed on the second of the collective testing of GP3 in Portugal.

After solving the problems with the car on Wednesday, yesterday the main problem were the red flags in the morning due to off-tracks caused by heavy rain.

In the afternoon rain stopped and the track got dry, so the Argentinian driver could test on slick tires as well. Finally his best time was a lap of 1:28.722, 10th fastest among twenty-seven drivers attending these tests, and almost thirty laps completed.

Today we could test very different things, not just with my car but also with my teammates ones. The changeable weather conditions were very useful to practice with different set-ups solutions, achieving interesting conclusions. Anyway there is room for improvement. The morning was pretty difficult due to red flags and the afternoon we need to cope with heavy traffic, because it wasnt easy to set a clean lap. Lets see how Friday goes and if were able to keep on making progress with the car, Regalia commented.
