Montoya, son of former Formula 1 driver and Indy 500 winner Juan Pablo Montoya, and Fittipaldi, the namesake son of the two-time F1 world champion, will take part in the first day of testing tomorrow at the Spanish circuit.

The three-day event features over 30 young drivers hoping to take part in the championship in 2023, at least 10 of whom have already competed in the series.

2021 Aston Martin Autosport BRDC Award winner Zak O’Sullivan, who finished 11th in the standings in 2022 with Carlin, will take part in the test with reigning teams’ champion Prema. Franco Colapinto, who won a race this season with Van Amersfoort Racing, will try out with MP Motorsport.

Jonny Edgar, who competed with Trident in 2022, will move to MP Motorsport for the test, with Kaylen Frederick moving from Hitech to ART.

Reece Ushijima, who drove for VAR this season, will take part for Hitech, with Francesco Pizzi driving for Campos and Hunter Yeany taking part with Carlin.

Only three drivers will remain with the same team for the test: Rafael Villagomez with VAR, Pepe Marti at Campos and Gregoire Saucy for ART.

The test also features Oliver Goethe, who leads the Euroformula Open standings with three rounds remaining and made his F3 debut with Campos at the Hungaroring before finishing fourth in the Spa feature race.

Montoya, Christian Mansell and Alessandro Famularo also took part in F3 rounds in 2022 with Campos and Charouz respectively.

Dino Beganovic and Paul Aron, currently first and third in Formula Regional European Championship, will test for Prema, while second-placed Gabriele Mini will drive for Hitech.

13 of the 31 drivers taking part on day one currently drive in FRECA, with others participating in Euroformula, ADAC and Italian F4.

Two drivers currently competing in the GB3 Championship will participate in the test – Joel Granfors and Roberto Faria, who drive for Fortec and Carlin respectively in the British series.
