Marrakech FP 2 - Norbert Michelisz fastest in second WTCC session

The action/drama from FP2 in Morocco

Practice 2 flash: Michelisz takes a Honda 1-2 in final WTCC practice

Norbert Michelisz topped the second practice session of the FIA World Touring Car Championship season opener in Morocco with a time of 1m22.23s.

Michelisz failed to set a timed lap in his Honda in FP1 due to an oil leak but leapt into the number one spot late on in the session at Circuit Moulay El Hassan in Marrakech. Behind him in second was this morning’s fastest man, and fellow Honda driver, Tiago Monteiro.

Meanwhile, Rob Huff too enjoyed a better session, after also failing to run in FP1 as a result of a scrutineering issue. He was placed third in his ALL-INKL.COM Munnich Motorsport Citroen.

Fourth and fifth went to Néstor Girolami and Nicky Catsburg in their Volvos, with Esteban Guerrieri putting in a last-gasp effort in his Chevrolet to end the final practice in sixth.

Home hero Mehdi Bennani was eighth, behind Thed Björk who was seventh. Ryo Michigami and Tom Chilton completed the top 10 in P9 and P10 respectively.

Star rookie from this morning’s session Yann Ehrlacher finished FP2 in P13 , while 2017’s other rookie Aurélien Panis was P15 after a frustrating first practice which saw him confined to the garage.
