With the 3.850-kilometre Circuito de Madrid Jarama – RACE all but drying out following earlier rain, MAN-driving Kiss clocked a session-topping time of 2m01.581s to edge out local hero Antonio Albacete by 1.321s.
Sascha Lenz was third quickest despite a trip into the gravel trap at Turn 1 after eight minutes, which led to the 30-minute session being momentarily halted.
José Eduardo Rodrigues was fourth fastest ahead of Chrome pacesetter John Newell and IVECO-powered Jochen Hahn, who was quickest in Free Practice 1.
Mark Taylor and Lukas Hahn were next up in seventh and eighth respectively followed by Bradley Smith, Steffi Halm, Luke Garrett, Steffen Faas and René Reinert.
Spanish driver Luis Recuenco was 14th fastest as Jonathan André completed the top 15 ahead of Clemens Hecker and Mika Mäkinen.
