Alex MacDowall makes it a Chevrolet 1-2 in second practice at Snetterton

Alex MacDowall led a works Chevrolet one-two in the second British Touring Car free practice session at Snetterton this afternoon

Arena Motorsport's Tom Chilton set the pace early on with his Ford Focus before Jason Plato moved to the top of the timesheets with several quick laps in his works Chevy Cruze.

A 1m59.063s effort in the last few minutes seemed to have secured Plato's position, but MacDowall pipped him by 0.038 seconds as the chequered flag flew.

James Nash was third, and best turbo, in his Triple 8 Vauxhall Vectra, 0.3s slower than MacDowall.

Matt Neal's Honda was another car to try a late run and he ended up fourth, demoting Chilton's earlier effort to fifth.

Gordon Shedden's Honda completed the top six, ahead of Andrew Jordan's Eurotech Vectra, while Martin Byford continued his fine form in the AmD Milltek VW Golf with 10th.
