Francisco Guedes, driving the #51 AF Corse Ferrari, was the first to break the two minute barrier. The Portuguese driver remained on top of the rankings, until Michal Broniszewski in the #11 Kessel Racing Ferrari went 75 thousandths of a second quicker.

With track conditions improving, lap times went down quickly. Henry Hassid in the #12 TDS Racing BMW shaved another couple of tenths of the quickest time. The BMW driver was quickest in Pro-Am, with the #51 AF Corse Ferrari remaining on top in the Gentlemen Trophy. Quickest car in the Pro category (and 4th overall) was the #85 HTP Motorsport Mercedes, driven by Sergei Afanasiev.
