> Result: Official Practice
Elias Seppanen and Harmony’s Ferrari led a top 17 covered by just one second in Official Practice at Fuji this morning.
A little under three-quarters of the hour-long session remained when the Finn set his best of 1m38.972s, which was unbeaten thereafter despite conditions remaining dry.
JMR’s Corvettes came closest to toppling the Silver-Am entry. Ben Green, who again shares the #99 Z06 with championship leader Prince Jefri Ibrahim, finished 0.155s behind but a tenth clear of his team-mate Jordan Love.
Loris Spinelli’s PB briefly topped the session before Sepannen beat it, but that time was still sufficiently quick to leave Absolute Corse’s #19 Lamborghini fourth overall and just one hundredth behind Love.
Another Absolute Corse entry, albeit the Ferrari driven by Thierry Vermeulen, was next up, while the team’s second Huracan completed the top six courtesy of Akash Nandy.
FAW Audi Sport Asia Team Phantom recorded the quickest Silver time in seventh overall, and LM Corsa’s Ferrari topped the Am standings in 20th.
That time was subsequently beaten in the Bronze Session by Anthony Liu whose 1m39.917s edged Prince Abu Bakar Ibrahim by 0.027s.
Friday’s track action continues with Pre-Qualifying at 15:45 JST.
