Narain Karthikeyan too finished third in the lead driver practice session, according to a news release.

Armaan finished fourteen laps with his quickest lap time at 1:52.739 behind Nicolas Prost of Team France coming second and Danny Watts from Team Great Britain taking pole position with a fastest lap time of 1:51.096.
