In this exercise where we take the average time of each member of the crew to establish the hierarchy, these are the Ferrari of Iron Lynx who were the fastest. In Q2, Antonio Fuoco (who shares the wheel of the Ferrari 488 GT with Daniel Serra and Davide Rigon) also achieved an impressive time of 2 min 16.486, thus shattering the lap record for the 24 Hours of Spa by 9 tenths. On the virtual front row, the sister car driven by Miguel Molina, James Calado and Nicklas Nielsen at 0,178 sec.

We then find the Lamborghini Huracan of Jordan Pepper, Andrea Caldarelli and Marco Mapelli at 0,317 sec while the 1st Audi RS 8 LMS in the hands of Luca Ghiotto, Christopher Haase and Mattia Drudi achieved a time of 0,387 sec.

Three Silver crews managed to reach the top 20: the Lambo of Tuomas Tujula, Stuart White and Konsta Lappalainen, the Audi of Jean-Baptiste Simmenauer, Benjamin Goethe and Thomas Neubauer and the Mercdes AMG of Al Faisal Al Zubair, Axcil Jeffries , Daniel Morad and Fabian Schiller. The Audi 46 of Valentino Rossi, Fred Vervisch and Nico Müller will line up in 25th position on the grid on Saturday.

Remember that the first 20 cars in this qualifying session will be invited to compete for super pole this Friday late afternoon.

Disappointment in the KCMG team where the Porsche 911 of Dennis Olsen, Nick Tandy and Laurens Vanthoor will start from 64th position only following brake problems which stopped it. The 911 which also bears this number was not credited with a time following an exit in the first session. Finally, the Lambo driven by Tyler Cooke, had a nice spin in the Raidillon without the car being too damaged.
