Peugeot continue to lead at Barcelona
Peugeot scored a one-two in the second free practice session at Barcelona today, ahead of the Le Mans Series season opener at the Spanish circuit this weekend
Having already set the fastest time in the first session, the 908 HDi of Stephane Sarrazin and Pedro Lamy repeated the feat this afternoon, with the sister car of Nicolas Minassian and Marc Gene just 0.062 seconds behind.
The Audi R10 TDis were third and fourth, with Mike Rockenfeller and Alexandre Premat seven tenths quicker than Allan McNish and Rinaldo Capello.
This time the ORECA-Courage was best of the rest, in the hands of Olivier Panis and Nicolas Lapierre. The French pair were just half a tenth shy of the second Audi.
Michael Vergers and Juan Barazi led the LMP2 class runners this time, in the latter's Barazi Epsilon Zytek, with Essex Racing's John Nielsen and Casper Elgaard the best of the Porsches, second in class.
After missing the earlier practice session, the Team Modena Aston Martin was quickly on the pace and Tomas Enge and Antonio Garcia topped the GT1 times ahead of the Peter Kox/Roman Rusinov Lamborghini Murcielago.
Rob Bell and Gianmaria Bruni were quickest in GT2 again, half a second clear of Marc Lieb and Alex Davison's Porsche in their Virgo Motorsport Ferrari 430.
