Dennis had already put on an impressive performance in free practice in the morning when he set the second fastest time behind Günther in difficult conditions in the rain. A special feature of the route made the session a challenge. As part of the 2.252 kilometer long course runs through the outdoor area and part through the halls of ExCel London, the drivers had to struggle with aquaplaning outdoors on a wet track, while the surface in the halls of the exhibition center was dust-dry.
