Esteban Gutiérrez sets fastest laptime on the first day at the official Formula BMW Europe test in Hockenheim

     

During the official Formula BMW Europe test days at Hockenheim, the Team of Josef Kaufmann Racing only took part with Esteban Gutiérrez. The other two Kaufmann Drivers Kazeem Manzur and Marco Wittmann, according to the Formula BMW Europe Regulation 2008 allowing only a special amount of testing days, were not allowed to take part at this test.

Esteban Gutiérrez has shown a very strong performance directly from the beginning of the test day. The young Mexican Driver did very constant fast lap times and was on top of the time table at any time of the day. At lunch break Gutiérrez was fastest with a time of 1.45.733. This also didn´t change in the afternoon session. On new tires he set again the fastest lap of the day with a time of 1.45.106.

On the second day Gutiérrez, like his two other teammates, wasn´t allowed any more to take part at the official test.
