- Raffaele Marciello was third in the #15 BMW. Toyota’s title-contending #8 and #7 cars finished 12th and 17th respectively.
- Sebastian Priaulx led Logan Sargeant in an LMGT3 one-two for Proton Competition Ford, with Maxime Martin third for Iron Lynx Mercedes-AMG.
Robert Kubica took over at the front of the 6 Hours of Monza field as a drying track opened the door to slicks late in Friday’s second practice. His 1:38.143 in the #83 AF Corse Ferrari 499P was the fastest lap of the day at the World Endurance Championship finale.
Harry Tincknell took second in the #007 Aston Martin Valkyrie with a 1:38.939, 0.796s behind. Raffaele Marciello put the #15 BMW third with a late 1:39.759, ahead of the #36 Alpine and #19 Genesis.
How the drying track changed the Hypercar order
The surface was still wet when FP2 began, and Tincknell set the early pace with a 1:47.531. Victor Martins moved ahead in the #36 Alpine before Kubica lowered the benchmark to 1:44.122 with about an hour to go.
The #38 Cadillac also took a turn in front before Yifei Ye brought the #83 Ferrari back to the top. Alpine then ran first and second for a time, with Jules Gounon in the #36 ahead of Charles Milesi in the #35. Milesi had led the wet opening session with a 1:45.862.
Once the track was dry enough for slicks, the lead changed hands again. Martins put the #36 Alpine back on top with a 1:40.368, but the final runs dropped the benchmark into the 1:38s. Kubica’s best lap was 7.719s quicker than the morning’s fastest time, a measure of how much the conditions had changed over the day.
Martins improved to 1:40.058 for fourth, just ahead of the #19 Genesis and #38 Cadillac. Farther back, the two Toyotas fighting for the title were separated by five positions. The #8 finished 12th, while the #7 was 17th. Both face a fresh test when qualifying starts on Saturday.
Priaulx beats Sargeant by 0.087s in LMGT3
Maxime Martin put the #61 Iron Lynx Mercedes-AMG on top late in the session, but both Proton Competition Mustangs beat his time in the final ten minutes. Sebastian Priaulx took first with a 1:50.352 in the #77, and Logan Sargeant ran him to 0.087s in the #88.
Martin finished third, 0.301s off Priaulx. The #91 Manthey DK Engineering Porsche took fourth ahead of the #87 and #78 Lexus entries. The #33 TF Sport Corvette, which leads the LMGT3 championship, finished 17th in class.
Final practice starts at 10:30 CET on Saturday, followed by qualifying from 14:20 CET. Sunday’s 6 Hours of Monza starts at 11:00 CET.
