1:16.398 – a time that held for several minutes, allowing Paul Cauhaupé to seize pole position on a finally dry Dijon-Prenois circuit this weekend! The Martinet by Alméras driver also capitalized on his team's dominance, as in the final moments, Macéo Capietto managed to set the time that secured a front-row start alongside his teammate. While both drivers were somewhat off the pace in Free Practice the previous day, the dry track seemed to restore a hierarchy more similar to that of Barcelona.

In this instance, one exception remains. In the Pro-Am category, the leader is none other than Marc Guillot. The ABM driver, host of this Dijon event, used his vast experience at Prenois to secure third place on the starting grid, ahead of such formidable competitors as Enzo Joulié (Martinet by Alméras) and Marvin Klein (ABM), the overall championship leader. Also in Pro-Am, Karl Vandewoestyne (2B Autosport) posted a good time, placing him 7th overall, and 2nd in his category considering Marc Guillot's performance.

As in Barcelona, ​​Henry Hassid proved to be the fastest in the Am class. Already the winner of the first two races in Barcelona, ​​the former winner of the Porsche Carrera Cup France surpassed the surprising Laurent Cochard, who had the second-fastest time in his category but was responsible for the only red flag of the session due to a mechanical issue that forced him to stop. Race 1 will now be closely watched starting at 15:25 PM (French time).
