Alessandro Pier Guidi, Nicklas Nielsen and Come Ledogar will have the privilege of crossing the line first to try to conquer the Brickyard, having already won the 24 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps this season.

Pole position was taken by Alessandro Pier Guidi in 1'33''456. 13 cars followed in the same second, and four drivers managed to set a time less than a tenth of the day's pole. This shows the intensity that the race promises. Among these very close contenders, we find the No. 8 Audi R3 LMS GT25 from the Audi Sport Team Sainteloc with Patrick Niederhauser clocked in 1'33''514. Jules Gounon, on the Mercedes AMG GT3 from the No. 99 Craft-Bamboo Racing team lapped in 1'33''515. A great performance for the return to the track of the Hong Kong team, absent from the international scene since the Bathurst 12 Hours in March 2020. Fourth place on the grid is occupied by the second Ferrari AF Corse, Antonio Fuoco having completed a lap in 1'33''556.

In Pro-Am, 10th place for SunEnergy 1 Racing (Mercedes AMG GT3 n°75). Great performance in the Silver Cup for Belgian Marvin Dienst (Mercedes AMG GT3 Winward Racing n°33), 7th on the grid.

The start will be given this Sunday at 16 p.m. (French time).
