Rookies top three in Spanish Testing Formula Master rookies set the top three fastest times today out of 30 drivers taking part for day one of the official two-day test in Valencia, Spain, with Jenzer Motorsport's Fabio Leimer claiming the best time of the day. Setting his best lap of 1:27.536 during the morning session, the young Swiss made the most of the sunny and dry conditions. J.D. Motorsport's Sergey Afanasiev also capitalised on the warm weather and was close behind with a fastest time of 1:27.648. "We were focusing on different race set-ups today and even carried out a mini-race," said Russian Afanasiev who was ahead of third-placed Iris Project driver Michael Ammermüller. "It was a lot of fun, especially when you think that the first race of the season is so close now. "The track changes all the time so it's good to work on various set-ups throughout the day to see how they work with the circuit. There was a significant difference between early morning and just before lunchtime for example. We also worked on qualifying set-ups a little bit but there'll be more of that tomorrow." A hotter track surface in the afternoon session meant that the day's top times could not be improved on. Local driver Arturo Llobell set the fastest lap with a time of 1:28.121 and said: "We worked a lot on with old and new tyres and both went really well but we still want to polish a few things tomorrow before the race weekend starts. We're happy though, at the moment we are able to be fast over one lap but also consistent over several. For me, it's just nice to be here, Valencia is my home track and I can't wait to race." ADM Motorsport's Norbert Siedler was second in the afternoon session with a best time of 1:28.137 whilst Kasper Andersen, driving for Trident Racing, was third with his fastest lap of 1:28.173. Formula Master's official test in Valencia concludes tomorrow before the Series' first race weekend gets underway with qualifying on Friday (16 May 2008).
