Mark Godwin Racing’s Raoul Hyman was quickest in both the morning and the afternoon of the second Formula Renault NEC test day at Hockenheim.

Unlike yesterday’s six sessions, the second day of the test featured only two separate runs.

18-year-old Hyman, who is yet to announce a full-time drive for 2015, edged day one pacesetter Max Defourny by less than a tenth of a second in the morning session, before finishing almost seven tenths clear of the Belgian in the afternoon.

In session one, Fragus BR’s Robin Hansson was third, leading?Josef Kaufmann Racing duo?Dries Vanthoor and Nikita Mazepin.

Stefan Riener led the Koiranen efforts in sixth ahead of Fortec’s FIA F3 man Pietro Fittipaldi, while another Koiranen?driver?Philip Hamprecht led Jehan Daruvala and Josef Zaruba in eighth.

Hamprecht powered through to third in the afternoon, with Vanthoor and Mazepin taking fourth and fifth again.

Josef Zaruba was again the top AVF driver in sixth ahead of Mark Burdett Motorsport’s Rahul Raj Mayer, Riener, Roy Geerts and top karting driver Tom Joyner.

Fortec driver Ferdinand Habsburg and Prizma part-timer Kevin Kleveros were two new additions to the testing line-up for day two.

The NEC field will enjoy a one-day break next before kicking off a second two-day test at Assen.
