Tech 1 Racing’s Anthoine Hubert kicked off the final Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0 post-season test at Jerez by setting a new lap record.

Hubert beat the previous milestone set by Carlin’s new FIA F3 driver George Russell in last season’s final round.

ART Junior Team’s first Eurocup signing Ukyo Sasahara was a tenth and a half down on Hubert in second, while NEC champion Ben Barnicoat settled for third place after holding an early lead.

Hubert’s teammate Simon Gachet took fourth narrowly ahead of Anton De Pasquale and Martin Kodric.

Darius Oskoui and Amaury Richard were the final two drivers within a second of the lead, while Harrison Scott and Hugo de Sadeleer completed the top ten.
