The final free practice session for the Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters at the Hungaroring saw Edoardo Mortara again top the time sheets, as Audi Sport again dominated proceedings.
The Italian would feature at the sharp end of the field, posting his best time of a 1:35.432 on his final lap, as the 30-minute session ended.
It put the Team Abt Sportsline driver ahead of Jamie Green once again, as the Briton set his best time with just over a minute remaining.
Audi Sport would have all of its RS5 DTMs in the top ten, with Mortara leading an Ingolstadt 1-2-3-4-5-6, as Team Phoenix’s Timo Scheider was the first driver to dip under the 1m36s second barrier with 2 minutes 40 seconds left, posting a 1:35.931.
Mattias Ekström, Adrien Tambay and Miguel Molina helped to complete the top six clean sweep, whilst Mike Rockenfeller and Nico Müller were eighth and ninth fastest.
António Félix da Costa was the best of the BMW drivers in seventh, having run as high as third place in the session at one point, with Maximilian Götz rounding out the top ten for Mercedes.
Points leader Marco Wittmann was 12th fastest, behind Paul Di Resta, 0.940 seconds off the pace set by Mortara.
Daniel Juncadella was also showing a good turn of pace, posting times in the top five, alongside Götz, but was 13th fastest, ahead of fellow Stuttgart stablemates Robert Wickens and Lucas Auer.
Team RBM teammates Tom Blomqvist and Maxime Martin posted the 16th and 17th fastest times, whilst Christian Vietoris, Felix Rosenqvist and Gary Paffett were 18th, 22nd and 24th.
Timo Glock was 19th, ahead of a struggling Martin Tomczyk, as the Team Schnitzer driver locked up into turn one with less than 10 minutes left, saying the front was “too aggressive and nosey” to his engineer.
Bruno Spengler and Augusto Farfus also endured more difficulties, as the Team MTEK duo could only manage 21st and 23rd.
Qualifying for the the feature race starts at 1250 CEST (BST + 1), lasting for 20 minutes.
