Farfus quickest in Macau test session

The BMW driver finished the half-hour session with a best time six tenths of a second clear of his nearest rival, Schnitzer BMW team-mate Jorg Muller.

Farfus heads into this weekend's decider 13 points behind championship leader Gabriele Tarquini and 11 behind the Italian's SEAT team-mate Yvan Muller.

Rob Huff, who won at Macau last season, set the third fastest time ahead of the factory SEATs of Rickard Rydell and Muller, with Andy Priaulx's BMW completing the top six.

Tarquini was seventh fastest with Jordi Gene's SEAT eighth, Alain Menu's Chevrolet ninth and Tom Coronel's independent SEAT round out the top 10.
