After posting the fastest time in the morning practice of the Auto GP Hungaroring round, Adrian Quaife-Hobbs did the same in Free Practice 2.
The Briton improved his morning time by half a second, posting a 1’34”001 that left second placed Sergio Campana 9 tenths adrift. Quaife-Hobbs seems to be the favourite for pole-position, but Campana is confident that Qualifying will be a different story: “In the Race 2 crash in Marrakech I destroyed one set of tyres, so now I’m lapping on really worn rubber.
I think that on new tyres I should have the pace to close the gap a bit”. Pål Varhaug was third with 1’35”113 and very happy of how Virtuosi UK improved his car compared to the first session: “We are definitely going in the right direction with setup, but there is still some way to go to catch Adrian. I’m still struggling a bit with oversteer, I hope we can solve that for Quali”.
Victor Guerin had another very consistent session and closed the session in fourth place, just 0.001 adrift from Varhaug. The Brazilian driver of SuperNova was followed by Sergey Sirotkin, who was lapping on a pretty old set of medium tyres: “I’m starting to get the right feeling, but there’s definitely more to come. I was on medium tyres and it was a pretty worn set, so I should improve a lot in Qualifying”. Regalia was sixth and the first placed among the Campos Racing drivers, ahead of Daniel de Jong and Adderly Fong, again in the top ten. Giuseppe Cipriani was ninth, ahead of Chris Van der Drift and Sten Pentus: the Estonian driver lost the first half of the session due to a GCU issue that was promptly solved by Zele Racing.
