Coronel takes fastest in second practise

Dutchman Tom Coronel set the fastest time during the second free practise of the day at Curitiba. Despite having only met his team of engineers last thursday for the first time and it’s only his second day in his new car, Coronel showed that he will be competitive this weekend. He was just 0.002s faster than local hero Augusto Farfus.

The Chevrolets were competitive, just like this morning, with all three cars in the top 10. Nicola Larini was the fastest of the three, claiming third place, 0.207s behind Coronel.

The fastest diesel powered car in the field was the SEAT Léon TDI, driven by Rickard Rydell. The Swede set the 8th fastest time, 0.603s slower than the fastest man, and just behind reigning World Champion Andy Priaulx.
