Kevin Ceccon tops second day of Jerez GP3 test for MW Arden

Kevin Ceccon MW Arden GP3 test Jerez 2012

Kevin Ceccon stayed on top of the timesheets on the second and final day of GP3 testing at Jerez on Thursday.

The MW Arden driver lapped in 1m39.263s on slick tyres during what was the driest part of the day, the middle of the afternoon and added to his pace-setting lap on day one.

Any hopes Manor driver Tio Ellinas had closing the one-second gap to the Italian were dashed when he and morning pace-setter Emanuele Zonzini both spun into the gravel with an hour to go and brought out the red flags.

Heavy rain followed, meaning that nobody was able to improve on previous bests.

Nicolas Costa made it two Manor cars in the top three while Roman de Beer, Nick Cassidy and Britain's McLaren AUTOSPORT BRDC Award finalist Melville McKee were next up for the Trident, Status and MW Arden teams respectively.

British Formula 3 champion Jack Harvey had a trying day after switching from Lotus to Carlin overnight. He brought out the first red flag of the day due to an oil leak on his car. He ended up eighth fastest.
