Shanghai WEC: Toyota hits front in practice two in China

Alex Wurz topped the timesheets aboard the solo Toyota TS030 Hybrid with a 1m50.573s lap.

That put him more than a second ahead of Tom Kristensen in the best of the Audi R18 e-tron quattros.

The second Audi was third fastest in the hands of Benoit Treluyer, while Neel Jani was quickest privateer LMP1 in the lead Rebellion Racing Lola-Toyota B12/60.

James Rossiter headed the secondary prototype class in the best of the Lotus LMP2 squad's Lola-Judd/BMW B12/80s. The Briton's time of 1m55.290s was just one tenth clear of John Martin's ADR-Delta ORECA-Nissan 03.

Aston Martin Racing came out on top in a closely-fought GTE Pro class.

The solo AMR Aston Martin Vantage GTE driven by Darren Turner was just a tenth ahead of the AF Corse Ferrari 458 Italia in the hands of Giancarlo Fisichella and three tenths ahead of the Felbermayr-Proton Porsche 911 GT3-RSR driven by Richard Lietz.
