Overview

• Daryl DeLeon delivered a last‑gasp 1:28.930 to set a new qualifying lap record and secure his second consecutive pole for WSR’s BMW.
• An early Q1 puncture threatened his session before rapid WSR repairs enabled progression to the Goodyear Quick Six.
• Alliance Racing’s Ford duo locked out the next spots with Dan Cammish in second and Dan Rowbottom third, as Tom Chilton and Adam Morgan completed a top five split by just 0.102s.
• Points leader Tom Ingram was eliminated in Q2 due to limited TOCA Turbo Boost and will start seventh, though he clinched the season’s Goodyear Wingfoot Award for qualifying.
• Ash Sutton also fell short of the shootout under the same boost constraints and will start outside the top ten for the opening race.
