All International F-3000 Teams are testing in Spain, at the Jerez de La
Frontera Circuit.

While the FIA hasnt yet decided if it will call the Series F-1 Jr. or
F-3000, we will call it with the old name, F-3000.
In the morning practice, the fastest was french driver Fabrice Walfisch
for the Draco Team. Behind him was brazilian driver Mario Haberfeld,
that drives for McLaren Junior.

In the afternoon, when the track was a lot slower because of the heat,
brazilian driver Ricardo Mauricio was fastest, followed by german driver
Nick Heidfeld.

Lola still hasn't delivered all cars to the teams, so all teams that have
only 1 car had to let one driver go out in the morning and the other one
in the afternoon.
