Oliver Jarvis tops practice

By

Britain’s Oliver Jarvis set the fastest time of the free practice session at Circuit Park Zandvoort. The Audi Sport Team Phoenix driver led a top 10 which was separated by less than a second.

A damp circuit greeted the drivers at the start of the session, but it soon dried out completely.

Jarvis led a top three followed by Martin Tomczyk and Tom Kristensen who had both claimed victories at Zandvoort in the past.

Former Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters champions Mattias Ekström, Timo Scheider and Gary Paffett round out the top ten, and will all be hoping to get towards the sharp end of the grid when qualifying takes place later today.

Ralf Schumacher believes that there is only one clear overtaking chance at Zandvoort, meaning finding the optimum setup in practice is essential to push as hard as possible in qualifying.
