The second and final free practice session of the 6 Hours of Fuji - Round of the FIA World Endurance Championship - was held Friday in Japan.
While Toyota set the best time in the initial practice session, but Audi turned things around in the second one.
The Audi R18 e-tron quattro of Fassler/Lotterer/Treluyer set the fastest time, just 4/1000ths of a second ahead of the Toyota TS030 Hybrid of Wurz/Lapierre/Nakajima.
Private team Strakka Racing, third in Bahrain, again set a great performance with Danny Watts claiming fourth place in the Honda-powered prototype, just behind the second Audi of Kristensen/McNish.
The OAK/Pescarolo, fitted with a Honda V8 engine for the first time, was 8th overall and less than one second slower than the fastest private LPM1 machine.
Potolicchio/Dalziel/Sarrazin were the fastest in the LMP2 category, driving the Starworks HPD.
Finally, teams Felbermayr-Proton (Porsche) and Larbre Compétition (Corvette) were the quickest in the GTE Pro and GTE Am categories respectively.
