In the only practice session on Friday, Myles Rowe was fastest, 0.001s quicker than Juan Manuel Correa. Championship leader Max Taylor was down in P6.

Group 1

On an out lap, Niels Koolen spun out of turn 8, beaching his car between the kerb and grass.

Down at turn 5, Juan Manuel Correa had a relatively big lock-up and took a trip through the grass.

With Tymek Kucharczyk leading for most of the session, Max Taylor stepped up near the end, posting a 1:10.475 to end up P1 in Group 1 — it was a new track record for the category. His second fastest effort also guarantees himself a front row start for Sunday.

Enzo Fittipaldi stole P2 from the Pole right at the death. Missig and Correa were also very competitive as 0.37s covered the top 5 in the session.

Group 2

As the track ramped up, Group 2 delivered the speed. A 1:10.317 from Alessandro de Tullio saw him claim pole position. His second fastest lap is also good enough for P1 on Sunday’s grid. Nikita Johnson was consistently the benchmark in Sector 1 but just lacked pace in the final sector to take pole as he did a 1:10.475.

Bryce Aron was the star of qualifying as he put his CGR car in P3, P5 overall on the grid for today’s race.
