FIA Formula Two Championship - Winter Testing

The FIA Formula Two Championship is to run a winter test programme in Spain to aid with the selection process for 2012 drivers.

The two-day session takes place at the Circuit de Catalunya in Barcelona, home to the Spanish Grand Prix and venue for the final rounds of this year's F2 championship.

Open to both existing and new drivers (subject to F2 approval), the test will allow potential racers the chance to explore the JPH1B F2 car, which boasts a cockpit-adjustable front wing and anti-roll bar and an overboost facility increasing power to 500bhp.

As well as full briefings and support from the expert F2 engineers, every driver will receive two new sets of tyres per day to use during the test. They will also have access to full data comparison with the fastest driver to ensure maximum learning opportunity, together with onboard videos and the ability to overlay their video with that of the quickest driver from each and every session.

The test will provide a fantastic learning potential for prospective drivers considering racing in the series in 2012.
