Following on from the first of the three post-season tests in Jerez last week, teams and drivers reconvene in Barcelona for the second opportunity around a familiar venue.
The Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya will provide the chance for everyone to continue their 2026 preparations, gather more data and get to grips with the F3 car.
Here is everything you need to know ahead of the second post-season F3 test.
Running gets underway on Wednesday morning at 09:00 local time, with the morning segment going until 12:00. Following the lunchbreak, on-track action resumes from 14:00 to 17:00 local time.
Day 2 begins at 09:00 and the morning session once again finishes at 12:00. A shorter break between the two however means the afternoon session commences at 13:00 local, and finishes an hour earlier than the first day at 16:00.
There are no changes from the Jerez test, with all 30 drivers who participated across the two days returning with their respective teams for the Barcelona event.
13 drivers got to grips with F3 machinery for the first time in Jerez and will be building up their knowledge of the car once again in Barcelona.
Ugo Ugochukwu of Campos Racing ended the first test with the fastest time of the week.
Last year, Mari Boya wound up with the quickest time in the Barcelona post-season test on a 1:27.209 for Campos.
The test will be available to follow online via live timing on both days on the FIA Formula 3 website along with behind-the-scenes content on official social media channels.
