Lamborghini on pole at Sachsenring in GT1

Mike Hezemans thought he had given the Exim Bank Team China Corvette Z06 its first pole position. But the Dutchman stopped at his pit during Q3, which is prohibited by the regulations. A boon for Dominik Schwager and Nicky Pastorelli, who inherit pole position.

“It’s a big surprise for us, says Schwager. We suffered from understeer all week, and the circuit doesn't really suit us. But it seems that we have made a lot of progress. I was five hundredths from pole. I missed it in the last corner, I accelerated too early. But a first line satisfied us amply. But there, being on a pike? I'm not sure it's a good sign, but I think I'll try to forget the first few races, have a good day and pocket some points. I hope it will continue like this throughout the weekend. »

“It’s very important to start from pole because overtaking here is very difficult” adds his teammate Pastorelli.

The Schwager-Pastorelli pair indeed signed their 3rd pole position in four races. But they never managed to achieve a victory. Meet at 14:15 p.m. for the qualifying race.
