HOHENTHAL QUICKEST AT FIRST OFFICIAL TEST
Fortec Motorsport driver Sebastian Hohenthal (Mora, Sweden) set the pace at the first official Formula Renault UK with Michelin Championship two-day test at Silverstone National circuit on March 1st/2nd. The Swede’s time of 54.421s put him just 0.03s ahead of Team Lemac AKA’s Jeremy Metcalfe (Fleet, Hampshire) with Hohenthal’s team-mate Sam Bird (Claygate, Surrey) a further 0.04s behind.

Hohenthal, 21, averaged 108.42mph as he set the fastest lap of the test and was delighted to head the standings. He said:
