Ferrari and Toyota have topped a session each following the first two practices for the 6 Hours of Monza.

While Alessandro Pier Guidi was fastest in the Practice 1 with a lap of 1:37.553 behind the wheel of the #51 AF Corse Ferrari 499P, Kamui Kobayashi recorded a 1:36.363 in the #7 Toyota GR010 to set the fastest lap of the day in Practice 2.

Antonio Fuoco in the #50 Ferrari 499 was second fastest overall, with a 1:36.533 in Practice 2.

New Zealander Brendon Hartley put the #8 Toyota GR010 in the top three with a 1:36.686 run, while Kiwi Earl Bamber’s Cadillac Racing was fourth fastest after Alex Lynn laid down a 1:36.748.

Proton Competition’s #99 Porsche bounced back from a problem in the first practice session to record a 1:37.181 with Harry Tincknell at the wheel. The 963’s time was good enough for sixth place on the chart for the new entry.

The #99 had the distinction of bringing out another Full Course Yellow just after 45 minutes. The Porsche stopped at the Rettifilo chicane as it did in the opening session.

The #51 Ferrari, fastest in the opening session, clocked a 1:37.204 to slot in at the seventh position.

The #04 Floyd Vanwall only turned 13 laps in Practice 2 due to mechanical issues and finished in 13th place in the Hypercar class with a 1:41.304.

Seven Hypercars were within one second of the lap time set by Kobayashi.

WRT once again showed their speed in LMP2. Former F1 driver Robert Kubica turned a 1:39.955 in the #41 ORECA to lead the class.

The #34 Inter Europol ORECA and the #31 WRT ORECA traded spots from the opening practice session. The #34 lapped the track in 1:40.136 and the #31 posted a 1:40.162.

It was an all Porsche show in the GT class, where Alessio Picariello in the #60 Iron Lynx Porsche 911 RSR logged a 1:46.973 to lead LM GTE Am.

GR Racing’s Riccardo Pera was second with a 1:47.331 lap in the Porsche 911 RSR.

Project 1 AO’s Matteo Cairoli rounded out the Stuttgart trifecta with a 1:47.499.

The first practice session ended three minutes early after the #56 Team Project 1 Porsche 911 RSR-19 came to a stop in the first Lesmo with a technical glitch, prompting a red flag.

Track action resumes with Free Practice 3 on Saturday July 8 at 18:45 AEST.
