TAG Heuer Porsche's Antonio Felix da Costa topped the second practice session for the Jeddah E-Prix, setting a benchmark time of 1m15.470s – 0.379s faster than Thursday's best lap.

The 40-minute session was interrupted by two red flags. The first came when Robin Frijns' Envision Racing car stopped at Turn 13, requiring a motor change. The second occurred in the final minutes after a collision between Nyck de Vries and Stoffel Vandoorne at Turn 4, ending the session prematurely.

DS Penske's Maximilian Guenther finished second, 0.124s behind da Costa, with Jake Hughes completing the top three. Nissan continued their strong showing with Norman Nato and FP1 leader Oliver Rowland taking fourth and fifth respectively.

The top 10 was rounded out by:

• Edoardo Mortara (Mahindra)
• Nico Mueller (Andretti)
• Sam Bird (NEOM McLaren)
• Pascal Wehrlein (Porsche)
• David Beckmann (Cupra Kiro)

Notable performances included Jaguar TCS Racing's relatively quiet session, with Nick Cassidy and Mitch Evans placing 19th and 21st. Defending champion Jake Dennis reported ongoing brake and balance issues, finishing 18th.

The session showcased strong potential from multiple teams, with Porsche, DS Penske, and Nissan all demonstrating competitive pace ahead of qualifying.
