GT World Challenge Nurburgring, Bmw on Pole!
The day at the Nürburgring has started off in lively fashion, with all 61 drivers facing rather tricky track conditions this morning. Overnight humidity settled on the Eifel circuit, which was then covered by a fairly thick fog.
In the Pre-Qualifying session, it was the No. 50 AF Corse Ferrari 296 driven by Antonio Fuoco that topped the charts, being the only car to dip below the 1:55 mark. However, things shifted in the actual Qualifying session. In the final Q3 shootout, it was the No. 32 BMW Team WRT, driven by Van Der Linde, Weerts, and De Wilde, that claimed pole with a time of 1:54.426. It was a fiercely competitive session, with the top 20 crews separated by just six tenths. Second place went to the other BMW M4 GT3 of Augusto Farfus, Jesse Krohn, and Italian driver Raffaele Marciello, followed by another AF Corse Ferrari, piloted by Pierguidi, Rovera, and Abril.

Wrapping up the list of pole positions is the Bronze Cup, where Kessel Racing claimed the top spot with the stunning #74 Ferrari 296 GT3 driven by Laursen, Marschall, and Blattner.
In the early stages of qualifying, there was also a contact between Gounon and Weerts, which brought out a yellow flag on track.
