Kevin Korjus fastest on first day of GP3 testing at the Hungaroring

Kevin Korjus topped the timesheets for Koiranen GP on the opening day of GP3 Series testing at the Hungaroring

Korjus managed a 1m32.530s in the morning session - a new GP3 record in Hungary - to head 2010 McLaren AUTOSPORT BRDC Award winner Lewis Williamson and his Bamboo team-mate Melville McKee.

Rain hit before the start of the afternoon session, with multiple drivers being caught out by the conditions. Status GP's Adderly Fong was the first victim as he slid into the gravel at Turn 10 just after the start of the session.

Dino Zamparelli followed shortly after, hitting the barrier at Turn 3 and bringing out the red flag.

After a short break the track began to dry and times tumbled. Four drivers led the session before Williamson managed a 1m33.710s just before the heavens opened for a second time.

Jenzer's Patric Niederhauser went off at Turn 11 just as the rain began to fall harder, after which the drivers remained in the pits for the last few minutes of the session.

The two-day test resumes on Thursday, with teams then heading to Valencia for the second round of the championship on June 15-16.
