4 Hours of Spa – 100% United Autosports front row

It is under a blazing sun that qualifying for the 4 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps, second round of theELMS 2020.

The GTEs are, as usual, the first to hit the track. Registered on the Porsche 911 RSR n°93 of the Proton Competition which he shares with Michael Fassbender and Felipe Laser, Richard Lietz took pole position thanks to a lap completed in 2'17"778.

The Austrian was ahead of David Perrel by 0”216 (Ferrari 488 GTE Evo n°74 of Kessel Racing) and 0 »312 Andrea Piccini (Ferrari 488 GTE Evo n°60 of Iron Lynx). On the sister car, Michelle Gatting could not do better than the eighth fastest time, 1” from the benchmark.

In LM P3, as expected, United Autosports won thanks to the No. 320 Ligier JS P2 driven for the occasion by Wayne Boyd. The Briton – who signs his second pole in as many attempts this season – stuck respectively 0”885 and 1”606 to Laurents Hörr (Duqueine D08 n°4 of DKR Engineering) and David Droux (Ligier JS P320 n°8 of Realteam Racing).

And the LM P3 was not enough to satisfy it, United Autosports once again put a big slap in the face to the competition in LM P2, by quite simply monopolizing the first row of the starting grid.

At the wheel of the No. 07 Oreca 22 that he shares with Phil Hanson, Filipe Alburque covered the Belgian circuit in 2'03"298. The Portuguese relegates his stablemate Job van Uitert to 0”519 and Mikkel Jensen (Aurus 01 n°26 of G-Drive Racing) to 0”523. Followed by Konstantin Tereschenko (Duqueine Team) and Anthony Davidson (Jota Sport), who still concedes 1”1 to the reference mark.
