Snetterton test: Fortec one-two

The Finn and the Brazilian, who have won three races between them in the past few weeks in their Renault-engined Dallaras, edged out title contender Robbie Kerr's Alan Docking Racing Dallara-Mugen Honda.

Kerr had the better of the battle between himself and series leader James Courtney - the Australian was sixth fastest in his Carlin Motorsport Dallara-Mugen, but already has a pole position in the bag for the first of this weekend's three races, which is the race rescheduled after being rained off at Croft in late May.

In between the duo were Richard Antinucci (returning to form for Manor Motorsport) and Courtney's team-mate Alan van der Merwe.

Oulton Park qualifying hero Robert Dahlgren (Sweeney Racing Dallara-Mugen) topped the Scholarship Class in 11th overall, but team-mate and champion-elect Adam Carroll was a disappointing sixth in class with his re-tubbed machine.
