Matthieu Vaxiviere remained at the top of the timesheets in the afternoon session on day two of Formula Renault 3.5 testing at Motorland Aragon.

The Lotus driver smashed his earlier benchmark by almost a second to be the only driver in the 1m40s, and nearly half a second ahead of Monday afternoon pace-setter Gustav Malja.

Pietro Fantin was third for Draco ahead of fellow series veteran Jazeman Jaafar (Fortec). Egor Orudzhev was quick again in fifth for Arden, ahead of second Lotus driver Nicholas Latifi and AVF regular Beitske Visser.

Dennis Olsen (Strakka) edged out his Eurocup FR2.0 rival Nyck de Vries (DAMS) for P8, with Tech 1’s Andrea Pizzitola completing the top ten.
