Blimey, this is starting to look very interesting!
Oli Jarvis was fastest in the Rookie session for Team GBR - times
here.
Then France showed a welcome return to form in the first main session - times
here. Robbie Kerr was a close second, which was just as well after Oli's performance, but the big surprises were Australia in 3rd with Ryan Briscoe, South Africa (espacially) in 4th with Alan van der Merwe and Czech Republic in 5th with Jaroslav Janis (not Enge this weekend).
Nico Hulkenberg was only 8th for Germany as he is no longer eligible for the rookie sessions. I suspect he will be on the pace come qualifying.
