Campos Racing’s Jan Przyrowski was fastest in Spanish Formula 4’s pre-season test at Jarama.

The 36-car entry list was split into two groups, with eight sessions for each group.

Group A went out first on Wednesday, and Rene Lammers set the first benchmark: a 1m31.760s. He led an MP Motorsport 1-2-3, with Keanu Al Azhari and Griffin Peebles 0.23 and 0.445 seconds behind him respectively in second and third.

Nathan Tye lowered the pace in Group B’s first session, setting a 1m31.675s. He was fastest by 0.359s over James Egozi, with the top five all being Campos Racing drivers.

Mattia Colnaghi knocked 0.241s off Tye’s benchmark in the next session, with MP team-mate Lucas Fluxa also beating it. Al Azhari, Peebles and Lammers completed an all-MP top five in the group.

Group B’s second session was slower, with Sainteloc Racing’s Matteo Quintarelli the only driver to lap sub-1m32s as the top 12 were covered by 0.841s.

It was a similar story when Group A headed back out. Tecnicar Motorsport’s Adam Al Azhari topping the timesheet with a 1m31.948s, and 13 drivers were within a second of his pace.

The afternoon continued to be slower than the morning, with Monlau Motorsport’s Tim Gerhards comfortably quickest in Group B’s third session with a 1m32.436s, Fluxa setting a 1m31.071s to edge Keanu Al Azhari by 0.078s and Lammers by 0.097s in Group A’s last session and Egozi topping the day’s final portion of track action with a 1m31.897s that put him just 0.039s ahead of Przyrowski and 0.053s up on Rodin Motorsport’s Thomas Strauven.

Group B headed out first on Thursday, and 14 of the 17 drivers improved. Przyrowski lowered the pace to 1m31.174s, leading Strauven by 0.175s, Egozi by 0.357s, Gerhards by 0.361s and Campos’s Andres Cardenas by 0.391s.

In Group A there were top 10 improvers, led by Lammers who set a 1m31.576s. He was fastest by 0.3s over TC Racing’s Gabriel Gomez, with 0.106s covering second to sixth place.

A 1m31.948s put Przyrowski on top of session six. Quintarelli and Global Racing Service’s Douwe Dedecker were 0.244s and 0.284s behind respectively in second and third.

Keanu Al Azhari improved to 1m31.986s in Group A’s next session, pipping Colnaghi by top spot by 0.011s and Fluxa by 0.099s.

Egozi set a 1m31.997s and then a 1m31.814s to lead Przyrowski in Group B’s last two sessions, with a 0.102s gap in the seventh one and a 0.01s gap in the eighth, while Cram Motorsport’s Filippo Fioreninto and Gomez were the end-of-day pacesetters in Group A. Gomez set his personal best in the final session. The top 25 were covered by 0.97s at test-end, with seven non-improvers from Wednesday including Colnaghi and Fluxa, and 15th overall after being absent from Thurday’s action was Peebles.
