Carbone’s Alegra Motorsports teammate and fellow Brazilian Fabio Orsolon was second quickest.
Daniel Erickson, who is coming off two wins at Watkins Glen, was third on the time sheets. Following the Australian rookie were Felix Serralles, in his first session ever in an F2000 car and Keith McCrone - the fastest Masters Class driver of the session.
Carbone will incur a grid position penalty for the first race of the weekend for “running” the checkered flag following practice.
