Overview
- Qualifying at Monza on Saturday set the grids for the World Finals with Andrzej Lewandowski on pole for both Am/LB Cup races after 1:47.087 in Q1 and a 1:47.197 in Q2.
- Dennis Lind secured Pro pole with a 1:45.430 that led the class by roughly a tenth of a second, while Chris van der Drift edged Will Bamber by 0.015s to claim Pro-Am pole.
- Session incidents produced late red flags that froze lap times: Nicholas Groat and Rocky T Bolduc triggered a stoppage in Am/LB Cup qualifying and Ian Porter’s crash at Ascari ended the Pro/Pro-Am session’s final minute.
- The red flags prevented several drivers from improving late laps, including North American champion Elias De La Torre who qualified 13th in Pro after being on a faster run when the stoppage came out.
- The poles set here will determine starting positions for the first World Finals races scheduled to run later today and could influence manufacturer program selections and development opportunities for drivers.
