Nicholas Latifi set the fastest time of the week for Arden Motorsport on the final day of the Formula Renault 3.5 Series test at Motorland Aragon in Spain.

The Canadian, who finished on the podium for the first time in the series last month at Jerez whilst driving for Tech 1 Racing, set a best time late in the day of 1:40.479s to beat the best time from day two set by Matthieu Vaxiviere by 0.040s.

Oliver Rowland was second fastest on Wednesday on his first day in his Fortec Motorsports car since winning the season finale in Jerez last month, while Jazeman Jaafar was third for DAMS ahead of Vaxiviere of Lotus.

The second Lotus was fifth in the hands of Frenchman Andrea Pizzitola, while Brazilian Pietro Fantin was sixth for International Draco Racing.

Austrian Lucas Auer was seventh in the second of the Arden Motorsport machines ahead of Egor Orudzhev for Fortec Motorsports, while Beitske Visser was ninth for AVF ahead of Dennis Olsen of Strakka Racing.

Tech 1 Racing sat out the final day of the test, while ISR Racing missed all three days but both teams are expected to be back racing next season.
