Champ Car Free Practice 2

2008 Rexhall Champ Car Grand Prix of Edmonton Free Practice 2:

Free Practice Two went much the same way as FP1 went. The session though, separated the field into two groups. Those who were under 59.3 seconds a lap and those who were not. There were a 2 tenths of a second drop from the 12th time to the 13th.

Fastest was qualifying champ Paul Tracy, putting a fast lap in the closing seconds of the session to top a Free Practice session for the 5th consecutive race. Behind Tracy was the normal class of the drivers. Wilson in second, Philippe in third, and Power and Tagliani filling out the top 5.

The session saw a few on track incidents. Dan Clarke spun entering the front straight and had minor contact with the pit lane wall. His car was repaired and he finished the session. Also having trouble was David Martinez, who spun in the hairpin ending his session with a broken half shaft.

The session also saw the fall of some of FP1’s fast drivers, including the fastest driver Neel Jani, who fell out of the top 5 to 7th. Also falling was EJ Viso, who was unable to hold pace with the top cars and fell to 16th.
