Fabio completes Fuji Japanese Formula 3 testing
 Fabio Carbone has completed his latest pre-season Japanese Formula 3 tests in Fuji with his Three Bond team. The two-day test was Fabio’s first opportunity to compare himself with the other drivers, as each team has only tested privately up to now.
On the first day of testing, Fabio set some extremely promising times – ending up third fastest, just 0.2 seconds off the quickest driver. The second day of the test was blighted by recurring brake problems, which meant that Fabio was unable to set a representative time.
Despite this handicap the Brazilian was extremely pleased with the work carried out by the Three Bond team over both days of the test, in which he completed approximately 80 laps and 360 kilometres.
“We’ve driven a lot and done a good job to define the race set-up here,” commented Fabio. “The most important work has been on the suspension and we have definitely taken a step forward in every area. We saw on the first day that we can run consistently among the quickest. On the second day our brakes kept on overheating, which meant that there was no point in running with new tyres. But we still carried out a lot of testing work, so the day was by no means wasted. I really enjoyed driving the car – now I just can’t wait for the proper racing to start!”
Fabio’s next test will be at the famous Suzuka circuit from March 22-23. Again, he will face the full field of Japanese Formula 3 competitors.
