GP2 » Jerez - Test times - February 27

Tom Dillmann continued to put Hilmer Motorsport on top of the timesheets on the second day of GP2 pre-season testing at the Circuit de Jerez.
French driver Tom Dillmann is clearly revelling being back in the cockpit of a GP2 car, topping the timesheets for the second time in two days at the first three-day pre-season test session for the teams.

Dillmann set his best time of 1:24.400s in the morning session despite another freezing start to the day, as the afternoon also proved cool under overcast skies.

There were four red flags in the morning courtesy of Marcus Ericsson (DAMS), Nathanaël Berthon (Trident), Felipe Nasr (Carlin) and a minor collision between Daniel Abt (ART) and Adrian Quaife-Hobbs (MP Motorsport). In the afternoon, the only stoppage was for Stefano Coletti (Rapax) 20 minutes from the end.
