ART Junior Team driver Esteban Ocon recorded the fastest time for the second day in a row at the Eurocup Formula Renault collective test in Barcelona.

During the wet morning session several drivers were caught out by the wet conditions, with Fortec Motorsports driver Mikko Pakari leading the pack ahead of Nyck de Vries and GP3 driver Patric Niederhauser, who was working with Jenzer.

The top ten was completed by Victor Franzoni, Stefan Wackerbauer, Ocon, Nicolas Jamin, Marcos Siebert, Antonio Fuoco, Benjamin Bailly and Levin Amweg.

The wet weather cleared for the afternoon and it was Ocon again who topped the afternoon session, just as he had done the previous day, ahead of rival Pierre Gasly.

Guilherme Silva, Oliver Rowland, Matthieu Vaxivi?re, Alexandre Baron, Franzoni, Jake Dennis, Pakari and Alexander Albon completed the top ten.

The final round of collective testing for the Eurocup Formula Renault takes place at the Red Bull Ring in Austria on 15/16 April.
