Stienes Longin was third, 0.834 second shy of his teammate on top of the standings. Returning 3-time champion Ander Vilarino, was fourth quickest  but had to park his #48 DF1 Racing – Stipp Motorsport Chevrolet off track at the end of the second session due to technical issues. As fluids from the #48 Camaro had to be cleaned from the asphalt, the session was shortened. Mishumotors’ Lucas Lasserre closed the top-5. Championship contenders Lasse Soerensen and Loris Hezemans only finished twelfth and 14th in Free Practice.

In EuroNASCAR 2, German rookie Tobias Dauenhauer impressed with a 1:41.925 lap around the iconic 4-Km road course. Currently sitting in second in points behind his Hendriks Motorsport teammate Vittorio Ghirelli, the German proved to be one of the drivers to keep an eye on in the 2020 championship battle. He edged Alex Caffi Motorsports / Race Art Technology’s Vladimiros Tziortzis, who was quickest in the first session. Martin Doubek rounded out the top-3 ahead of championship leader Ghirelli and Solaris Motorsport’s Nicholas Risitano at the wheel of the #12 Camaro.
