Summary
Nicki Thiim storms to pole in the Aston Martin with a blistering lap record, while Arjun Maini in the Ford Mustang lurks right behind—showing raw speed but facing a tire overheating dilemma that could hurt race pace. Meanwhile, Porsche and BMW struggle mightily, with Thomas Preining 12th and BMW’s Wittmann and van der Linde way back in 18th and 19th—even though van der Linde just won the last race and jokes about slowing down at 30, his birthday. Timo Glock in the Dorr-McLaren finishes dead last. Qualifying’s a breeze, but the real race? That’s where the drama begins. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
