WEC: Audi fastest again in FP2 at Silverstone

Audi swept the top two positions in second practice ahead of Sunday's World Endurance Championship opener at Silverstone.

Benoit Treluyer led the way on a 1m41.526s in the #7 Audi R18 e-tron quattro, which put him just under three tenths up on the 1m41.824s set by Oliver Jarvis. The two Porsche 919 Hybrids were next up, Timo Bernhard's 1m42.183s putting him six tenths ahead of Romain Duams in the sister car. The Toyota TS040 Hybrids again ended up fifth and sixth in the hands of Stephane Sarrazin and Kazuki Nakajima.

G-Drive Racing's pair of Ligier-Nissan JSP2s led the way in LMP2 for the second session in a row. Luis Felipe "Pipo" Derani set a best lap of 1m48.676s to finish up six tenths ahead of Sam Bird.

The two factory Manthey Porsche 911 RSRs were fastest in GTE Pro, Richard Lietz's 2m01.499s putting him a tenth and half up on Frederic Makowiecki. Next best was Aston Martin driver Fernando Rees, who was a further tenth behind.

Aston Martin took the top spot in the GTE Am times with Pedro Lamy.
