Tom Ward claimed the top spot in the Pirelli National Superstock Championship Free Practice session from Josh Brookes in the closing stages as the series features as a support race to the Monster Energy British Grand Prix at Silverstone.
Brookes had been initially setting the pace for the Monster Energy by FHO Racing BMW team as the Australian and his teammate Peter Hickman line up this weekend as wildcards for the event.
Ward however edged ahead by 0.283s in the final minutes of the session to put the Amada Marine Cables Racing Honda at the top of the times.
The Monster Energy by FHO Racing BMW locked out second and third positions, with Brookes holding second ahead of Hickman by 0.462s with Scott Swann (Swann Racing Honda) and Matt Truelove (TAG Honda) completing the top five.
Davey Todd (Cheshire Mouldings BMW by TAS Racing) and Joe Talbot (SAF INTRADISC Honda by JR Performance) completed the top six ahead of tomorrow's Qualifying session and Race 1.
