Frenchman Jean-Marc Gounon, in his second race for Konrad Motorsport, took pole position for tomorrow’s 500 km race, giving Saleen its first-ever FIA GT Championship pole. The French driver set a lap of 1:34.939, which he described as “nearly perfect”, during the faster first session.  “I am very happy as I only discovered the car at Magny-Cours, and there are three drivers, so I have not had much time to get used to it,” he said. On tomorrow’s grid, he will be alongside the nr 22 BMS Scuderia Italia Ferrari 550 Maranello, with which he last set pole position, at Donington last year.  Third place went to the nr 7 Graham Nash Motorsport Saleen S7-R, which is undergoing reparations after a heavy crash this morning.
