Successful Valencia test for Auby

Lebanese A1GP driver Jimmy Auby completed two successful days testing at the Valencia circuit last week in preparation for the next round of the 2008 FIAT Spanish Formula 3 Championship. The 21 year-old is in his first season in Formula 3 and throughout the two day test was posting competitive times against more experienced drivers.

Despite running on old tyres, which had completed several laps, Jimmy ended the session one tenth off Natacha Gachnang and 0.8 tenths adrift of Nil Montserrat, currently lying third in the points standings.

Day two again was split into two sessions, the morning session held over four hours. The team elected to start on old tyres again and with the same differential as on the opening day to establish the correct set-up for the race meeting to be held later this month.

When they switched to new tyres, Jimmy immediately gained a second, just 0.5 tenths off the fastest car in class and 0.6 tenths off the fastest overall.

During the afternoon session, the team tried several combinations of rubber and differentials to establish what would be the correct choice. Overall in the session, Jimmy wound up fastest of the class runners leaving him confident ahead of the races which take place over the weekend of 27/28 July.

"I feel the test went very well as we managed to get a really good set-up with both diffs. We were also very competitive being consistently quicker than the opposition on old and new tyres. I am now really looking forward to the next race."
