United Autosports tops Portimao FP2, troubles for Glickenhaus
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

United Autosports has set the fastest time in second practice for the Eight Hours of Portimao, in a session that saw LMP2 cars outpace their Hypercar counterparts and where Glickenhaus suffered mechanical woes.

Paul di Resta went quickest in the #22 ORECA 7-Gibson, posting a 01:31:984 to outpace the #31 Team WRT ORECA 07-Gibson of Robin Frijns by just 0.020s. Another handful of hundreths further back was the #34 Inter Europol Competition ORECA of Alex Brundle, completing the top three in class.

In contrast, the Hypercar runners appeared to have a more difficult time on Saturday morning. The #36 Alpine A480-Gibson was the quickest car in class with a 01:32:074, but Nicolas Lapierre could only log the fourth-fastest time overall.

The #8 Toyota GR010 Hybrid of Sebastien Buemi, the quickest of the two Japanese cars, found itself some seven-tenths off the top time and behind the five fastest LMP2 cars. The #7 car, meanwhile, was ninth overall in the hands of Mike Conway.
