Vanthoor fastest before hitting the barriers

Series leader Laurens Vanthoor was quick to set the fastest time in the second free practice of the day at Moscow Raceway. The Belgian lapped almost a second quicker than during the first free practice earlier today, clocking a 1'37.501. Ten minutes before the end of the session, Vanthoor ended up in the barriers however, losing control over his #1 Belgian Audi Club Team WRT R8 at the turn 8 chicane.

In the end it was another Audi-driver, Christopher Mies in the #2, that clocked the second fastest time, only 0.079 of a second slower than Vanthoor's time. Mies pushed the #88 Reiter Engineering Lamborghini of Nick Catsburg to third, with the top-14 cars ending up within the same second.

Jules Szymkowiak was fastest Silver Cup driver, setting the sixth time overall in the #83 Bentley Team HTP Continental, while fastest Pro-Am driver was again Marko Asmer in the #71 GT Russian Team Mercedes.

 

Action resumes on Saturday, with the qualifying session at 9 am.
