Rydell quickest again in Mexico

He was nearly a second slower than his dominant pace earlier in the day, with the Schnitzer Motorsport BMW's of Augusto Farfus and Jorg Muller just a tenth back in second and third places.

The top five cars were covered by just quarter of a second this afternoon as the SEATs of Yvan Muller and Gabriele Tarquini finished the session fourth and fifth.

Andy Priaulx repeated his sixth place of this morning, just ahead of the Proteam Motorsport BMW of Felix Porteiro who was once again the lead independent runner.

Tiago Monteiro, Tom Coronel and Alex Zanardi completed the top 10, ahead of Nicola Larini in the first of the Chevrolets.

Jaap van Lagen gave the Lada team its best run of the season so far with 15th place, just three tenths of a second off the back of the factory cars.
