“After the first set of tyres I had the feeling that I could achieve pole position. With my second set the car felt completely different and I couldn’t improve my time as I had expected. But of course second on the grid is very good. It’s especially impressive to see how many spectators are watching in the grandstands. I’m looking forward to the race,” said Jaminet. Christian Engelhart (D/MRS GT-Racing) takes up round seven of the championship on Sunday from third on the grid. The 20-year-old Italian, Cairoli, who currently ranks second in the series, was disappointed with his penalty but remained optimistic: “I’m not very happy that I have to start from fourth place, but I know that I’ll have a good setup for the race and I’m definitely aiming for the podium.” Michael Ammermüller (D/Lechner MSG Racing Team) tackles the race from fifth, with Robert Lukas (Förch Racing by Lukas Motorsport) from Poland on sixth. Zaid Ashkanani (Lechner Racing Middle East) from Kuwait managed to secure his best qualifying result so far this session with seventh ahead of Klaus Bachler (A/race:pro motorsport).
The 6.972-kilometre circuit with its many famous passages will become the benchmark for the 30-strong field on Sunday at 11.35 hours. Television stations Sky and Eurosport will broadcast the race live.
