The first official shakedown of the new GP3 car took place on Monday at Le Castellet in the South of France.
After months of development, this session marked the first performance and the reliability test of the Dallara chassis, combined with a Renault four cylinder, two-litre turbocharged engine and Pirelli slick tyres.
Under blue skies and on the 3D track configuration current GP2 Series championship leader Romain Grosjean took the wheel and completed a trouble-free programme.
The GP3 Series, intended to be a stepping-stone into GP2, will kick off next year and will run alongside the GP2 Series in Europe.
The GP3 series will rival the new Formula 2 championship of Jonathan Palmer.
