The sun made an appearance over the Circuit Paul Ricard for the second Free Practice session but the track was still tricky after the earlier heavier rain. The 60-minute session was interrupted after ten minutes by a red flag due to a car stopping at T1 in a dangerous position, with the session resuming after five minutes once the car had been recovered to a safe place.
The no21 DB Autosport Norma was the quickest car on track, with Nicolas Schatz setting the best time of the day with a 1m52.044 lap of the 5.8km track. Schatz was 0.3 seconds ahead of Laurents Hörr in the no30 CD Sport Norma, with the fastest Ligier, the no24 Cool Racing driven by Antonin Borga, was 1.5 seconds adrift of Schatz.
It was a 1-2-3 for Ferrari in the GT3 category led by the no8 F488 of Giacomo Piccini. The Italian set a lap time of 1m55.655, 0.5s ahead of Marco Cioci in the no71 AF Corse Ferrari. The no77 Kessel Racing F488 was third quickest, 0.8s behind their teammates.
