Notes:
Still raining right through the afternoon; the only one driver who has improved his time in the second session has been Huisman, the best SP driver in the morning session.

Fabrice Walfish completed a lot of laps, but experienced a little incident after about 1 hour and ten minutes from the start of the two hours practice session, while the team was beginning to carry all the materials on the trucks to leave the circuit.

The Conrero Team (regular SRWC entrants) is also starting a program in the ETCC with two Alfa 156 ST (both 2000 models), and has done the shakedown of the cars with Conrero SRWC drivers (Caffi, Bonaldi, Chiesa, Lancelotti). The program was born only few days ago, but since Alfa Romeo has announced it, Team Conrero has received a lot of requests from pilots interested in driving one of the cars. In the next days, the team will decide who....

In the standings above, Bonaldi is both in 6th and in 9th positions, because he drove both the number 9 and the number 10 Conrero cars.
