Farfus leads Zolder test day
Augusto Farfus set the quickest time of the World Touring Car test session at Zolder this afternoon
BMW's finished first and third as Farfus and team-mate Andy Priaulx sandwiched second-placed Yvan Muller's Chevrolet.
Darryl O'Young was a surprise fourth quickest as the top independent runner in his Bamboo Engineering Chevrolet Lacetti.
Tom Coronel was the fastest of the SEATs in fifth place, ahead of the Cruze's of Rob Huff and Alain Menu - both of whom completed fewer laps than the other front runners after spending most of the session with their cars being worked on in the pits.
The SEATs of Jordi Gene and Gabriele Tarquini were eighth and ninth, with home driver Vincent Radermecker completing the top 10 ahead of his one-off outing with Chevrolet this weekend.
The other addition to the grid since Monza is another Belgian, Pierre-Yves Corthals, who is driving the only petrol-powered SEAT on the grid - run in the independent class by Exagon Engineering.
