Campos Racing wrapped up its FIA Formula 3 collective testing gathering valuable data for the upcoming events on the calendar. The Spanish-based team took part with its three drivers Hunter Yeany, Pepe Martí and David Vidales at the wheel of Dallara F3 machinery at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya, which will host the third round of the season in May. They all carried out qualifying and race simulations throughout the two days of testing.

Friday kicked off track action with David Vidales putting himself in the top ten by clocking a lap time of 1m32.882s in the morning session. Further adrift, Yeany and Martí posted lap times of 1m33.365s and 1m33.758s respectively. Due to hot temperatures, track conditions and times didn’t improve in the afternoon with Martí setting the fastest time for a Campos Racing driver with a lap of 1m34.527s. Vidales clocked a lap time of 1m34.605s and Yeany scored a best lap of 1m35.259s to his name.

Saturday morning was expected to be a quick session in times terms and everything went according to plan. Spaniard Martí posted a lap time of 1m32.380s, less than a tenth quicker than Vidales’ lap time of 1m32.433s. Yeany also finished the morning session very close with his best tour of 1m32.549s. After morning qualifying simulations, afternoon was devoted to long runs. In such conditions, Spaniard Martí emerged second fastest with a time of 1m34.984s. His fellow countryman Vidales took 9th on the timesheets with a lap time of 1m35.435s and Yeany put a lap best lap together of 1m37.959s.
