First bursts of acceleration

In this single qualifying session, three drivers per car are allocated a slot on the track. The starting grid is determined by adding together the best times of each driver. Joffrey Dorchy (3TM #62), a key figure in qualifying for the 2025 season, didn't hesitate to set the fastest time in the first session. This paved the way for his teammates Mattéo and Thomas Merafina, who then finished the job in style, securing the first pole position of the season. Milo Sens #82, Mr Bricolage by RM #76, and L'Auto Leclerc #73 complete the first two rows. The reigning champions will start from fifth place.

In the Pro/Am category, the best time went to the Lamera #47 KCX by GL Autosport shared by Roman Tajon, Didier Moinel Delalande and Vincent Pheby, thanks to exemplary consistency.

In the Gentlemen's category, the #44 Scania by GL Autosport will start from 13th place on a grid of 28 cars. The first race of the weekend, a four-hour event, will start at 15:30 PM. Good news: the sun is back over Magny-Cours!
