Ferrari on pole in GTE Pro and Porsche quickest in GTE Am
The Ferrari-Porsche duel again fulfilled its promise in qualifying for the Estoril 6 Hours. Nicolas Armindo in the IMSA Performance Matmut Porsche 997 quickly set pole in LM GTE Am, while in LM GTE Pro the battle for first place was more hotly disputed.
In LM GTE Am, Nicolas Armindo set a target time with a lap in 1m 40.014. The best Marco Cioci in the AF Corse Ferrari F430 GT could do was 1m 40.558s, so the Frenchman added another pole to his tally this season.
Marco Holzer in the Prospeed Competition Porsche set the pace early on in LM GTE Pro along with Richard Leitz in the Felbermayr-Proton team's 997. With a lap in 1m 39.374s the Austrian held pole for most of the session – until the Ferrari 458 Italias woke up!
Rob Bell got close to Lietz's time with a lap in 1m 39.469s and then beat it with a flyer in 1m 39.176s. Joining him on the front row will be Gianmaria Bruni who hustled his AF Corse 458 Italia round the Estoril circuit in 1m 39.356s.
