Saturday morning was Brian Uriarte’s time to shine in a sunny Silverstone, the Spaniard taking over the timesheets in the final handful of minutes of practice, although his advantage over rival Maximo Quiles was less than a tenth of a second. After illness sidelined him from the last round, David Almansa returned to action at the business end, briefly leading the way before settling into 3rd, while Scott Ogden climbed into 4th after an early tumble at turn 3. Friday’s leader Valentin Perrone started off the session with a top time before getting demoted to 5th, narrowly ahead of Adrian Fernandez. Ryusei Yamanaka, Eddie O’Shea and Matteo Bertelle also made noteworthy appearances in the top 10, which was completed by Alvaro Carpe. Casey O’Gorman missed out by only eight thousandths of a second and was in familiar company from Jesus Rios, Cormac Buchanan, Joel Kelso and Hakim Danish in the rest of the top 15. Veda Pratama and Rico Salmela came next, both rookies over a second off the leader’s top time.
