Cantelli and Barba on track in Valencia with Draco

The first two sessions of the collective test for the Formula Renault 3.5 are being held yesterday in the Ricardo Tormo circuit in Valencia, and the test will continue today. In the morning, the time has been quite high, given the wet track for the first 90 minutes, with a temperature close to 8 degrees.

Claudio Cantelli has immediately took turns at the top of the timing screens, showing his potential, and at the end of morning session he was positioned just after the top ten, with a good time of 1'23 "177 and 55 laps on track. Few after Marco Barba, who has make less laps on track because he has preferred to use the morning to define various arrangements of the car that the Valencian knows very well now, after the 2008 season with Draco Team.

In the afternoon, Barba has tested on track the work of the morning and the result was positive, given the third place with a time of 1'22 "291, skiming the second place with a record time of 1:21.909 recorded in the last lap, a few seconds after the end of the session. For the Spaniard, it was a very productive day to prepare for the next season, and he promises to always strive for the top positions. Very good the performance of Claudio Cantelli who reduced his lap time ending seventh with 1'22 "732 and 49 laps.
