Jan Przyrowski set the pace at Hockenheim in the second Free Practice session. The RPM driver, who had finished second in the opening session earlier in the day, once again emerged as one of the front-runners, setting the fastest time of the day with a 1:35.026.
Championship leader Emanuele Olivieri finished second, just 0.061s behind the Polish driver, and edged out his R-ace GP teammate Yuki Sano by just over a tenth. After placing inside the top 10 in Free Practice 1, Rodin Motorsport’s Reza Seewooruthun took fourth ahead of G4 Racing’s Saqer Almaosherji.
Almaosherji was one of the first drivers to move to the top of the timesheets, setting an early benchmark of 1:35.430. Rodin Motorsport’s Alex Ninovic then took over at the front with a 1:35.305, followed by Trident Motorsport’s Maksimilian Popov, who was one tenth off the pace.
With 15 minutes remaining, Seewooruthun moved into first place with a 1:35.258. Przyrowski then lowered the benchmark by 0.040s, before Olivieri posted a 1:35.131, which was also quicker than Sebastian Wheldon’s best time from the morning session.
Przyrowski responded with a 1:35.026 to take top spot for good. Olivieri improved further to a 1:35.087 but remained second, while Sano climbed to third after the chequered flag with a 1:35.215.
“Today has been pretty good,” Przyrowski commented. “I think we managed to find something in the car set-up, as well as in my driving. We finally managed to put everything together, and the pace looks decent. So, it could be a good weekend for me. I just need to stay focused, remain calm and keep pushing.”
Qualifying 1 will take place tomorrow at 09:10 CEST, with the drivers splitted into Groups A and B, before the first of the two 30-minute-plus-one-lap races gets under way at 13:00 CEST, streamed live on the championship’s official YouTube channel, @fiaformularegionaleu.
