Maximilian Guenther managed a rapid 1m28.40s, enough to put him in the first place slot as the session came to a close.
It was the second consecutive session where a STELLANTIS powertrain finished in the top spot, with Maserati MSG Racing’s Jake Hughes going quickest this morning. Kiro’s Dan Ticktum was rapid in his Kiro Race Co car this afternoon to finish in second, with Guenther’s teammate Jean-Eric Vergne going third.
RESULTS: The full classification from Session 3 of the Madrid Pre-Season Test
The session got underway at 14:00 local time, with Kiro hitting the ground running with an early one-two result for the duo. Dan Ticktum, who has been with the team for the past three seasons during their transition from NIO to ERT and now Kiro, was quickest for most of the session. The team, which was purchased by the Forest Road Company during the off-season, announced the temporary driver line-up of Ticktum and David Beckmann for this Madrid test, but both looked at home in their GEN3 Evo cars.
Guenther has made the move to DS PENSKE for Season 11, but is familiar with the STELLANTIS powertrains from his two seasons with Maserati MSG Racing during GEN3. In the final hour, he achieved the lap that would see him quickest of everyone all day with Ticktum just 0.031s off the pace.
Beckmann finished the session in fourth, with Nyck de Vries and Edoardo Mortara locking in fifth and sixth respectively. Jaguar TCS Racing’s Nick Cassidy ended up in seventh after a wobbly start this morning after his car came to a halt on track. Zane Maloney (Lola Yamaha ABT) ended up eighth, a promising start for the young rookie, with Jake Dennis of Andretti and Mitch Evans of Jaguar in ninth and tenth by the chequered flag.
Testing will resume tomorrow, with another two three hour sessions.
