Nurburgring WEC: Webber keeps Porsche ahead of Audi in practice two

Webber's 1m40.997s lap in the #1 Porsche 919 Hybrid put him just 0.014 seconds ahead of the #7 Audi R18 e-tron quattro, which is without the injured Benoit Treluyer this weekend.

The 1m41.011s set by Fassler was in turn just 0.139s ahead of team-mate Loic Duval in the second Audi.

Toyota took fourth place with a 1m41.822s from Stephane Sarrazin in the #6 TS050 HYBRID.

The #2 Porsche ended up fifth in the times on a 1m41.136s from Romain Dumas.

A front-left brake disc failure sent Dumas off the track at Turn 1 after 40 minutes of the session and the car took no further part in the 90-minute practice period.

The Jota-run G-Drive ORECA again led the way in LMP2.

Rene Rast set a time of 1m48.965s, which put him over a second clear of WEC debutant Lewis Williamson in Strakka Racing's Gibson-Nissan 015S.

Aston Martin turned the tables on Ferrari to go fastest in GTE Pro.

Richie Stanaway set a time of 1m56.908s in the #97 Aston Martin Vantage GTE to end up just eight hundredths clear of Gianmari Bruni in the fastest of the AF Corse Ferrari 488 GTEs.

Emmanuel Collard ended up fastest in GTE Am in the AF Ferrari 458 Italia.
