Richie Stanaway tops second consecutive day of Formula Renault 3.5 testing at Aragon
Richie Stanaway continued his impressive form in Formula Renault 3.5 testing at Aragon to top the second day for the Gravity-Charouz Racing squad
The 2011 German F3 champion, who was also fastest on day one, was the only driver to dip below the 1m43s bracket, his best effort of 1m42.810s putting him almost three tenths clear of Arthur Pic (Epic Racing) in second.
Estonian Kevin Korjus finished third fastest for Tech 1 Racing, with whom he won three races and finished sixth in this year's championship.
Marco Sorensen, who finished runner-up to Stanaway in German F3, ended the day fourth fastest in the second Gravity-Charouz car, with 2011 British F3 champion Felipe Nasr (Carlin) less than two tenths down the road in fifth.
Will Stevens (P1 Motorsport) and Lucas Foresti (Tech 1 Racing) finished sixth and seventh ahead of Sergey Afanasiev, who joined the BVM Target squad after sitting out the opening day.
Carlos Huertas (Fortec Motorsports) and Laurens Vanthoor (ISR) rounded out the top ten, both drivers lapping within eight tenths of Stanaway's benchmark.
The second ISR car was piloted by 2010 Formula 2 champion Dean Stoneman, his first competitive test since being diagnosed with testicular cancer.
