Dip in the right direction: Campos Racing Rennrundup-Roundup

Campos Racing feel confident about round 1 after a productive run with the new Formula 3 car was carried out for the first time during the tests before the season. According to this, their team leader Adrián Campos Jr.

The Spanish outfit was the most busy team on the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya and completed 700 laps in the three days with the help of their drivers Mari Boya, Tasanapol Inthraphuvasak and Nikola Tsolov.

For Campos Jr., the test was exactly the way they had imagined and his team was able to go through their running plan, even if the last day was affected by rain.

“Testing was pretty productive,” said Campos Jr. “So I'm quite satisfied with all the development we made, all the test articles we had planned, we made almost everyone.

“We were unlucky for the rain on the third day, but it was the same for everyone, so I'm confident for the upcoming rounds.”

The new F3 car means that every team had to start all over. With every round, every member of the network would not only have improved the new machines, but also the 16-inch tires.

Campos' high mileage means that you would have collected a lot of data, which is extremely positive, because, as your team manager explains, everything is new on the car.

“It's very different,” he said. “We have the same engine, it is the only thing we have, everything is different. We have more downforce, we have a different gear, so it's a completely different car.

“We need a new mentality for this new car we have done and I think we're going in the right direction.”
