LMGTE Pro ruled by Aston Martin; sensational LMGTE Am action
18/11/2016

 

For the final round of the 2016 season, it was Aston Martin Racing all the way.  The headlines from the LMGTE qualifying session are as follows:

  • No.97 Aston Martin driven by Darren Turner and late replacement Jonny Adam takes first pole of season to head Aston Martin 1-2 in LMGTE Pro 
  • Title leaders Marco Sorensen and Nicki Thiim start second as they look to score necessary points to take LMGTE Pro crown
  • GT Manufacturers' title fight down to 9 points as Aston Martin reduce gap to Ferrari with pole point
  • Thrilling session in LMGTE Am sees No.98 Aston Martin of Paul Dalla Lana and Pedro Lamy snatch sixth pole of the season in a dramatic conclusion to the session.  The result keeps alive their slender title hopes
  • No.83 AF Corse Ferrari 458 Italia was in line for title success with extra point for pole but last flying lap by Pedro Lamy steals pole.  It's now all about tomorrow's 6 Hours of Bahrain!

 

The race starts at 16h00 tomorrow, Saturday 19 November and will race into the night.  All times from the qualifying session can be found HERE
