Thomas Biagi tops second Imola practice

Thomas Biagi fired a pre-qualifying warning shot with a flying lap during the second free practice session for the International Superstars Series at Imola

Biagi, a Bologna native, was quick right from the start of the session, dipping under Johan Kristoffersson's benchmark time from free practice one in the first 10 minutes of the session, and then improving to a 1m50.583s with just over eight minutes left to run.

That time was good enough to leave the Dinamic BMW driver clearly on top ahead of qualifying.

Andrea Larini traded times with Biagi throughout the session, but the Romeo Ferraris Mercedes driver eventually fell three-tenths short, settling for second. Audi Italia's Gianni Morbidelli was third fastest, replicating his result from free practice one.

Francesco Sini (Solaris Chevrolet) was fourth fastest, ahead of big name drivers Christian Fittipaldi (Swiss Team Maserati) and Tonio Liuzzi (CAAL Racing Mercedes).

Stefano Gabellini (Dinamic BMW), Max Pigoli (Ferlito Jaguar), Andrea Boffo (Roma Racing Mercedes) were next, while German Thomas Schoffler rounded out the top 10 in just his second official session behind the wheel of Audi's RS5.

Having been fastest in free practice one, Kristoffersson didn't take part in the second session, a driveline gremlin leaving his Audi RS5 stranded in the garage.
