After three free test sessions dominated by the Ferrari 499p at home, the qualifications of the 6 hours of Imola determined the starting grid on the eve of the event which will be disputed on Sunday, in Italy.
However, the Scuderia only sent two hyperpole cars, including the n ° 51 credited with the best time of qualifications, and the semi-private machine of AF Corsica. The n ° 50, without a valid time due to non -compliance with track limits, will close the Peloton Hypercar market on Sunday.
Besides Ferrari, all the manufacturers except Aston Martin managed to pass at least one of their hyperpole cars, proof of the observed tightening of performance.
As a big favorite, Ferrari did not tremble and Antonio Giovinazzi signed the pole position in 1’28 “920, with almost eight tenths of margin on the yellow 499p which was entrusted to Robert Kubica. It was BMW, with the n ° 15 piloted by Dries Vanthoor, who won third place.
The pursuers were relegated to more than a second, starting with the Toyota n ° 5, ahead of the first Alpine and the first Peugeot. Porsche appears to absent subscribers since the best classified of the 963 LMDH is only tenth on the grid.
In LMGT3, Valentino Rossi shone in front of his audience by signing a remarkable pole position behind the wheel of his BMW GT3.
The departure of the 6 hours of Imola will be given on Sunday at 1 p.m.
