Century Motorsport sets the pace in Free Practice 2

On a drying track, the cars returned to the circuit for the second 1 hour session of the weekend. Rain still lightly falling and a drying line appearing the track was still a tough challenge for the drivers.

#3 Century Motorsport BMW M6 GT3 in the hands of Dominic Paul and Ben Green posted the quickest time of the day with a 2:10.361 on a very drying circuit. #72 Lamborghini Huracan EVO from Barwell motorsport was second quickest with a 2:12.836. Times were hugely improved from the earlier session but still the second quickest car was over 2 slower than the time from Century Motorsport.
Beechdean’s #99 Aston Martin was third quickest in the session but was still another 2 seconds slower than the #72 Barwell Motorsport Lamborghini.

GT4 saw the recent newcomers to the series, Steller Performance in their #29 Audi R8 LMS GT4 top the GT4 field with a 2:20.226. Optimum in there #75 Aston Martin Vantage GT4 have jumped up into contention setting the second fastest time in class but 4 seconds behind the time of the #29 Steller Performance Audi. Third fastest in the session was the #19 Multimatic Motorsports Europe Ford Mustang GT4 just 0.3 seconds back from the #75 Aston Martin Vantage from Optimum Motorsport.

As the session was winding up, the circuit was improving lap by lap. With an obvious dry line and cars darting for the wet surface on the straights, as long as the weather holds out we could be looking at a dry qualifying session. A dry circuit for qualifying will certainly mix up the field with the cars not having any dry running today.

Qualifying is is due for a 16:05 start for the four 10 minute qualifying sessions for Pro and AM drivers in both classes.
