Moscow Raceway, FP2: Muller and (…)

Yvan Muller and Gabriele Tarquini repeated their first practice results and were classified first and second once again in the second session.

For most of the 30-minute practice, the Chevrolet RML cars set the pace, proving especially performing in the second sector of the Moscow Raceway.
Gianni Morbidelli’s Cruze set a provisional fastest lap of 1:40.916 in the early stages, that was soon beaten by Muller’s 1:40.595.

However, ROAL Motorsport duo of Tom Coronel (1:40.103) and Tom Chilton (1:40.098) jumped on the top until Hugo Valente improved further to 1:39.943.

Positions remained frozen until the session’s dying seconds when Muller posted an impressive 1:39.505 that was not to be beaten. Afterwards, only Gabriele Tarquini was able to move up to third and then to second with a lap of 1:39.919.

They were followed by four Chevrolet cars: Valente, Chilton, Coronel and the impressive René Münnich (sixth with a lap of 1:40.214). José María López, Tiago Monteiro, Mehdi Bennani and Sébastien Loeb rounded off the top-ten.

Once again Franz Engstler was fastest in the TC2T class (1:43.778).
The Qualifying session will start at 14:30.
