Robert Kubica established the pace in a drying second practice for the 6 Hours of Monza FIA World Endurance Championship finale, steering the AF Corse Ferrari 499P.
Times dropped as the session neared its end, with the track drying rapidly and teams opting for slick tires.
Kubica ultimately topped the times with a lap of 1:38.143, nearly eight seconds quicker than the wet FP1 benchmark from the morning.
The Pole enjoyed almost an eight‑tenth advantage over the rest of the field, with Harry Tincknell in the No. 007 Heart of Racing Aston Martin Valkyrie closest in pursuit, while Raffaele Marciello surged the No. 15 WRT BMW M Hybrid V8 to third in the closing moments with a 1:39.759.
Victor Martins looked set to again lead Alpine, but his 1:40.058 aboard the No. 36 Signatech Alpine A424 earned him fourth in the final results.
The top six was completed by Mathieu Jaminet driving the No. 19 Genesis GMR-001 and Earl Bamber in the No. 38 Hertz Team JOTA Cadillac V-Series.R.
Antonio Fuoco led the factory Ferraris in seventh, while Theo Pourchaire ended eighth as the best of the Peugeot 9X8s.
Only the manufacturers’ champion Toyota failed to crack the top ten, with the strongest TR010 Hybrid finishing 12th under series leader Ryo Hirakawa.
The Proton Competition Ford Mustang GT3 EVOs took the lead in LMGT3, claiming a 1-2 in the category.
Sebastian Priaulx, in the No. 77 entry, finished just 0.087 seconds ahead of teammate Logan Sargeant after a 1:50.352 lap.
The fastest non‑Ford was Maxime Martin’s Iron Lynx Mercedes-AMG GT3 Evo, a time two‑tenths behind Priaulx.
The No. 91 Manthey Porsche 911 GT3 R Evo, driven by Ayhancan Guven, came in fourth, while Jose Maria Lopez’s No. 87 Akkodis ASP Lexus RC F GT3 completed the top five.
The 90‑minute session ran largely without disruption, with only a single Full‑Course Yellow for a systems check.
