The first, second and third was maintained at the top of the time sheets during free practice two. The running order changed but the leading Audi was once again Audi #1 driven by André Lotterer, Benoit Tréluyer and Marcel Fassler. The "Long-Tail" #3 R18 of Lucas di Grassi, Marce Gene and Oliver Jarvis was in second. Allan McNish, Tom Kristensen and Loic Duval placed the #2 car in third. 

The #12 Lola/Toyota of Rebellion Racing placed ahead of the two factory Toyotas, finishing in fourth. The Toyota pair finished fifth and sixth respectively with the the #7 of Nicolas Lapierre, Kazuki Nakajima and Alexander Wurz followed by the #8 Toyota TS030 of Anthony Davison, Stéphane Sarrazin and Sébastien Buemi.
