German F3 championship leader Marvin Kirchhofer was quickest in free practice for the penultimate round of the German F3 2013 season at Oschersleben.

A stellar mid-session effort from the Motopark driver allowed him to beat his teammate Emil Bernstorff to the top of the leaderboards, despite several subsequent quick laps from the latter.

Performance Racing’s John Bryant-Meisner took third, ahead of early session leader Gustavo Menezes and Motopark’s Artem Markelov.

Matteo Cairoli beat former teammate Tomasz Krzeminski to sixth, with Nabil Jeffri and Nikita Zlobin taking eighth and ninth, respectively. In tenth, Freddy Killensberger led the Trophy class challengers.
