    The new Dallara F308 feels much quicker than last year's car according to the drivers so we'll probably see some smashed lap records this year. If I'm not mistaken Brendon's testing time is below the Snetterton F3 record already.

    Some teams are still waiting for new parts from Dallara.

    The Hitech boys are doing suprisingly well. I'm not too sure though that they will be up there when the season starts, but I've been wrong before (although it's very rare ).

    I wasn't really expecting Ericsson to be so high up so soon. Sure, it's only testing but he is proving that he knows how to drive a Formula 3 car quickly. He's only done 18 races outside of karting so far so I thought it would take some time before he was up to pace in these cars.

    It will be interesting to see when the season starts how his pace compared to Hohenthal is.
