Not very popular, Bavarian Blomqvist-Krognes-Eng set the fastest qualifying time.

The quiet Walkenhorst Motorsport team was not expected to be at the top of the rankings during qualifying. And yet, the BMW M6 GT3 # 34 of the German team has placed on provisional pole at the end of qualifications. Tom Blomqvist, Philipp Eng and the amazing Christian Krognes clocked the best average time in 2: 19.155 after the combined time of the three drivers. The Brit, the Austrian and the Norwegian showed great consistency.

The Bavarian coupe held up well against an Audi offensive with four R8 LMS completing the top five. This is the No. 25 Audi Sport Team Saintéloc of our national Fred Vervisch, Markus Winkelhock and Christopher Haase who had the last word against the No. 2 Audi Sport Team WRT Frijns-Müller-Rast, the No. 1 Dries Vanthoor (fastest in 2: 18.763!) And his teammates Alex Riberas and Christopher Mies and the No. 29 brothers Van der Linde and Jeffrey Schmidt. Then we find Maxime Soulet's No. 8 Bentley Continental GT3 and his comrades.

The best Porsche 911 GT3-R is that of Dries Vanthoor. N ° 117 of the KÜS Team75 Bernhard, which he shares with Timo Bernhard and Earl Bamber, took the 8th time.

The five Belgians registered in the Pro-Cup all pbad in super-pole!

Finally, in the National Group, Sarah Bovy and her band (Lamborghini Super Trofeo # 67 GDL Racing) took the last in the extreme on the Porsche 911 GT3 Cup No. 70 SpeedLover Paisse-Paque-Wilwert-Petit.
