Facu Regalia ended  yesterday's  GP3 preseason test on a positive note. The Argentinian was first or second quickest almost all day long, in the two practice sessions.

In the morning Regalia set a best lap of 1:45.855 and was the first driver under 1:46 mark ever in GP3, finishing second in the time standings. Then, in second free practice session, Regalia had a very good pace again and posted a time of 1:46.194, a bit slower that in the morning. Regalia was the fastest ART Grand Prix driver on track, just like the previous day.

I leave Silverstone quite happy with our results. Finishing both days second is a great result taking into account that its the last test previous to season debut in May. It was a hard working day, and we tested many different things involving the set-up, with interesting conclusions at the end. We trained starts to arrive to Barcelona confident enough in this matter, Regalia said. The 21 years-old driver also explained that weve more than a month until race one in Barcelona. Its going to be a long time for me! Because of Id like to start right now. ART Grand Prix is very strong, and Ive had an easy and quick adaptation to my engineer and technical director at the team. Anyway we have ahead the most difficult challenge: a complete season.

Barcelona round, the season opener, is scheduled on 10-12 May.
