Oulton Park, 31 July 2020: Hitech GP’s Kush Maini returned to the top of the testing timesheets after posting the quickest time in session two on Friday morning.

Maini was just 0.025s quicker than session one pace setter Kaylen Frederick (Carlin), with Louis Foster just 0.004s further behind for Double R Racing.
Lanan’s Bart Horsten was fourth fastest, the Australian almost four-tenths further back and 0.058s ahead of Carlin’s Nazim Azman, who enjoyed his best session of the weekend so far.Â
Nico Varrone set the sixth fastest time for Chris Dittmann Racing, less than a tenth clear of Douglas Motorsport’s Kiern Jewiss, with his teammate Ulysse De Pauw in eighth, just 0.013s ahead of Varrone’s teammate Josh Skelton.
Hillspeed’s Oliver Clarke completed a top-10 covered by just eight tenths of a second, with Lanan’s Piers Prior 11th and only 0.084s further back. Benjamin Pedersen was 12th fastest for Double R and a tenth clear of Josh Mason, with Hillspeed’s Sasakorn Chaimongkol in 14th and 0.007s away from Mason.
