TanderSport and Transwest Racing, meanwhile, have said that, after an initial survey of the damage, that they would be able to repair cars for Tander and Sofi respectively, a plus for the female driver, who still managed to record the second fastest time in each session.
It was Piccola Scuderia Corse driver McFadyen who dominated proceedings on track, however, topping first practice by 1.1secs and the second by 0.8secs, but admitting that he was relieved to have escaped the carnage.
”The car is running fantastically,” he said, “The team and I had a good chance to test and we banked a lot of data which has progressed things really well. Things went well but, thankfully, we avoided that massive crash.
”Thankfully, no-one was hurt. I saw the car in the hollow, but it's completely blind there. I just caught a shimmer of yellow and got out of [the throttle]. I thought I would be able to slow down, but it was impossible, so I had to go to the outside, between the car and the wall – which was a very fine line. Thankfully, I made it through because we are looking good for this weekend and we're looking forward to getting on it for qualifying.”
Behind Tander, Nathan Caratti took third in practice one and James Winlsow, on debut for Astuti Motorsport, the same spot in P2.
Sixteen-year old Justin Tate moved into the National Class for the first time this weekend and topped his class in practice two, finishing an amazing seventh outright in his F301 Dallara. Astuti's Ash Samadi topped the class in practice one, whilst Wakeman and Andrew Mill topped the Trophy Class in each session respectively.
