Session Highlights

FP2 took place ahead of qualifying for the British Grand Prix. Scott Ogden had another difficult start to the weekend. After crashing on Friday, he fell again at Turn 3 with just over 20 minutes remaining. Soon after, Casey O'Gorman also crashed.

Midway through the session, David Almansa set the fastest lap. The Liqui Moly Dynavolt Intact GP rider led Uriarte, Quiles, Valentin Perrone, and Adrian Fernandez. However, as the session entered its final minutes, the pace increased significantly. With less than five minutes to go, Uriarte took over the top spot with a 2'09.847, which remained unbeaten until the chequered flag.
