FIA WTCC-PRACTICE 2 - BMW GERMANY RULE AGAIN - 0

Farfus posted the fasted lap for the third consecutive session, beating the German by four hundreths of a second.

Mueller clocked the first significant time with a lap of 2:32.830 on his first attempt but ten minutes into the session, Tom Coronel caused a red flag after leaving half of his SEAT Leon against the barriers at the Mandarin bend.

Moments after the session was resumed Franz Engstler - who had set the Independents pace in the first practice - spun at Moorish Hill while Farfus brushed the barrier at the Lisboa bend.

Mueller's lap was eventually beaten by Farfus who completed a lap in 2:32.786 with one minute left.

All the four manufacturers - BMW, Chevrolet, Honda and SEAT - were represented in the top seven and only three tenths separated Farfus from Yvan Muller and Robert Huff, sixth and seventh fastest respectively with the same time of 2:33.111.

Championship contender Gabriele Tarquini was down in 12th, 1.3 seconds off the pace.
