Chris Dittmann Racing's prospective driver Harry Webb posted the fastest time in the opening test session of the Donington Park British F3 Media Day. The young Brit, who has most recently raced in British F4, was over seven tenths of a second quicker than Fortec's Tom Gamble, who is also evaluating a move into BRDC British F3.

In wet conditions, the pair were at the front of the times throughout, constantly trading positions as the the conditions slowly improved. Both were some way clear of Carlin's Clement Novalak, who looks set to compete in F3 this year.

Returning Fortec driver Manuel Maldonado was fourth fastest ahead of Nicolai Kjaergaard, who has switched to the Carlin team this season. Billy Monger, who is also seriously evaluating a move into the series for this year as he recovers from injuries sustained in a British F4 crash was an impressive sixth fastest ahead of fellow Carlin runner Sun Yue Yang.

Tristan Charpentier was eight for Fortec, ahead of Lanan's Kush Maini, who had several spells at the top of the times with Double R's Krishnaraaj Mahadik completing the top-10.

The second test session of the day for BRDC British F3 Championship takes place at 1pm.
