And four for Raffaele Marciello! The Swiss signed his 4th pole position of the season over the 5 Sprint Cup rounds, on the Ricardo Tormo circuit in Valencia (Spain). The pilot of the Mercedes Akkodis ASP n°89 was once again the fastest in Q2 with a time of 1'30″651 and delivered an almost perfect copy in qualifying this season. Only pole at Misano escaped him.

The Swiss driver beat recent Sprint Cup champion Dries Vanthoor in the No. 32 Audi WRT (+0) and Klaus Bachler in the Porsche Dinamic Motorsport n°56 (+0″241). We then find in 4th place overall the first Silver car, that of Nicolai Kjaergaard aboard the McLaren Garage 59 n°159. Another McLaren took pole in the Pro-Am category, that of Dean MacDonald aboard the second Garage 59 car, the #188.
