The second free practice session of the Spa Heat took place on Friday 21 August in the afternoon on the famous rollercoaster through the Ardennes. The 40 minutes of track action gave the teams a final opportunity to fine-tune their set-ups ahead of qualifying, which gets under way on Saturday from 10:40.
The session was interrupted twice, first by a Full Course Yellow following an off-track excursion for the #75 M Racing Ligier JS2 R, then by a red flag to clear tyre debris from the circuit.
As in the opening session, the #7 LR Motorsport topped the JS P4 category, with Simone Riccitelli setting the fastest lap in 2:24.204. August Therbo was close behind at the wheel of the #57 M Racing with a 2:24.584, while Simon Schranz placed the #14 Team Virage third with a time of 2:24.836.
Linus Hellberg was fastest in the AM classification with a 2:28.759 lap at the wheel of the #48 Allay Racing Ligier JS P4, while Dominique Bastien set the best PRO-AM time in the #69 Bretton Racing with a 2:43.526.
Championship-leading the #41 VSF Sports topped the JS2 R field thanks to Antonin Bernard’s fastest lap of 2:32.507. Marcus Terkildsen, driving the #88 23Events Racing, recorded a 2:32.957 to take second place, while Simone Bianco was third in the #81 LR Motorsport with a time of 2:33.089.
In the PRO-AM classification, the #84 Trajectus Motorsport led the way thanks to Jack Tabery’s 2:34.185. Christian Weber, at the wheel of the #28 Pegasus Racing JS2 R, claimed the fastest time in the AM classification with a lap of 2:41.615.
The two qualifying sessions will take place on Saturday 22 August at 10:40 and 11:00, with each session lasting 15 minutes. They will determine the starting grids for the two Spa Heat races.
