Friday testing updates - Proudford-Nalder unbeaten on day two

23 October 2026

Douglas Motorsport's George Proudford-Nalder has continued his form from Thursday by topping the first two Friday sessions at a wet Snetterton.

Session two
As more rain fell, the best lap times from session two were around a second slower than first thing this morning, but Proudford-Nalder maintained his run of session-topping form by recording a 2m07.376s, putting him just 0.038s clear of Elite's Jesse Phillips in second. 

R Racing's Chase Fernandez was three tenths behind in third, and ahead of KMR Sport's Lewis Goff, with Fortec's Qarrar Firhand enjoying one of his most positive sessions so far, as he climbed to fifth. 

Elite's Harrison Mackie was less than two tenths of a second further back in sixth and a similar distance ahead of Archie Bullard, who was the lead Fox Motorsport runner. 

GB4 podium finisher Conor Grant was next up for Douglas Motorsport, with Fortec's tester Ben Smith and Fox's Robert Crawford completing the top-10.
