There will be two "Happy Hour" free practice sessions held to provide drivers a final chance at an officially scored free practice session prior to the race.

Happy Hour 1 will be Friday, 30 March 2012 at 18:00 UTC, and will run for 60 minutes.

Happy Hour 2 will be Friday, 30 March 2012 at 23:00 UTC, and will run for 60 minutes.
