ART Grand Prix had a good day placing its two single-seaters in top six. French driver Alexandre Premat signed the overall best lap time setting 1:12.887, some 3 tenth faster than the first of his 25 contenders, Argentinian driver Jose Maria Lopez (Supernova - 01 :13.200). Today's lap time (Alexandre Premat) is only 5/100th slower than his team mate, British driver Lewis Hamilton with ART Grand Prix last February 22th on the same track solution.
