In the morning, Yury Protasov achieved first and fourth times in both free practice sessions respectively – with close lap times (1:46.782 and 1:46.705). His teammate Oleksandr Dobik constantly improved his times – in the first free practice he was ninth overall (1:50.962), and in the second free practice he had already seventh time (1:47.819, or more than three seconds faster).
