Italy – Qualifying: Last pole for Fornaroli, some contenders miss

• Despite the division of the field into two groups of 15 drivers, these qualifications were very messy. While this format was supposed to offer better conditions for the players to achieve their times, everyone got tangled up.
• With everyone trying to slipstream each other, which caused traffic jams and confusion on the track, Leonardo Fornaroli (Trident) took advantage of this to place himself at the top of the timesheet and therefore race towards pole position.
• With a time of 1'38"287, the local managed to hold on even though he was in the first group and was supposed to have less advantageous conditions than his counterparts in the second.
• Unfortunately, the routine has turned everything upside down and some have been trapped in the second group like Arvid Lindblad (Prema), 4th in the championship and only 9th in his group which means that he will start 18th in the two races of the weekend. In front, it is Alex Dunne (MP Motorsport) who pulled the chestnuts out of the fire to get ahead of his rivals with a lap in 1'38“818 beating Sami Megutounif (Trident) by only 0“042. A good performance all the same for the Tricolore who will be 4th on the grid for the Main Race on Sunday (8:35).
• On the grid, championship leader and poleman Leonardo Fornaroli will therefore be ahead of Alex Dunne, his runner-up Gabriele Mini (Prema), Sami Meguetounif, and Santiago Ramos (Trident).
• Third in the Drivers' standings, 6 points behind Leonardo Fornaroli, Luke Browning (Hitech GP) had a truncated session with some problems on the track. The Englishman could not do better than 7th in Group 1, which puts him in 13th place on both grids. 6th in Group 2, Tim Tramnitz (MP Motorsport) inherited pole position for the Sprint Race (9:30).
