At the second place in the grid will be Palestine driver Omran Karama, also driving a Toyota. He clocked a time of 2:30.176.
"It was a great practice, the weather a little bit affective as it was windy and dusty and I had a lot of problems with the car. But I managed to get the second place which is very good for the first race of the season. I think that everybody face the problem with the temperature, I am sure it will be a very exciting race tomorrow," Omran said.
Abdullah Al Khelaifi , who had a problem with his Toyota car did the third best lap time, 2:32.103.
