Formula 2 news Eng confidence up after Tuesday test16 June 2010 / Results / PhotosThird placed championship man Phillip Eng heads into this weekend's seventh and eighth races of the year more confident after topping the timesheets in testing on Tuesday. Zolder in Belgium is set to stage the race action this weekend and the venue was also the scene of a sole day of testing on Tuesday, on which the Austrian finished a tenth of a second quicker than closest runner Kazim Vasiliauskas and 1.1 seconds up on championship leader Jolyon Palmer, who he currently trails by 23 points. "I felt very comfortable straight away and it ended up being quite an easy day!" said Eng, who hit the top after a gradual reduction of lap times. "I think we were a little bit lucky to be so far ahead of the others because of the red flags but I am feeling good - I like the circuit and I am really looking forward to the weekend."
