Pulcini and Aitken joint-quickest as GP3 testing concludes

Arden's Leonardo Pulcini and ART's Jack Aitken set identical times to top the final day of GP3 pre-season testing in Valencia.

Both drivers set their times of 1m21.233s during the first hour of the day's running, during which the field simulated qualifying runs.

Their time was not beaten in the afternoon session, which was led by Alessio Lorandi (Jenzer) and Raoul Hyman (Campos).

Trident's Dorian Boccolacci, quickest on Tuesday, was just two hundredths off the pace in third, as Lorandi ended up less than a tenth adrift in fourth and Hyman put a fifth different team into the top five.

Ryan Tveter was sixth for Trident, ahead of George Russell (ART), Santino Ferrucci (DAMS) and Niko Kari (Arden).

Anthoine Hubert was 10th, narrowly edging out ART teammate Nirei Fukuzumi.

The 2017 GP3 season will kick off on 13-14 May during the Spanish Grand Prix weekend.
