Coronel fastest in final practice

Tom Coronel topped Saturday's final World Touring Car free practice session at Valencia

The SEAT driver jumped to the top of the times late in the half hour to displace the Chevrolets, which had set the pace to that point.

Alain Menu finished second quickest, ahead of team-mate Rob Huff, with Gabriele Tarquini splitting up the three Cruzes ahead of Yvan Muller.

Jordi Gene completed the top six for SEAT, with leading independents Kristian Poulsen, Darryl O'Young and Marc Carol next.

Tiago Monteiro was 10th, with Sergio Hernandez the quickest BMW in 11th. Works BMW drivers Andy Priaulx and Augusto Farfus were only 13th and 14th.
