GP3 Press release
After a series of fruitful test sessions and thousands of kilometres successfully completed in Mugello, Le Castellet and Barcelona, the technical definitions of the GP3 car are fixed and production has now commenced. The first cars will be delivered to the ten GP3 teams on schedule in January 2010. The car’s reliability has been established throughout the programme, most notably in Le Castellet where the car completed 278 laps in two days, along with its performance, which is significantly ahead of that shown by an F3 car. Given this, the main focus of the latest development test has been to define the tyre compounds together with Pirelli, running with GP2 Series 2009 runner-up Vitaly Petrov at the wheel. The goal was to help the Italian manufacturer gather enough data in order to define compounds for the 2010 season, with one final development test sessions remaining to fine-tune the wet tyres.
