The pilots had a jam-packed testing program. The day started with a briefing, where Andreas Ericsson (Olsbergs MSE) – the founder of the series – told us about the cars, future season and plans for the testing day. Each pilot could pass three test laps and six competing laps within the first three hours. In the afternoon there was another session comprising two segments of three circles each.
