The BMW riders beat Broc Parkes, Marvin Fritz and Niccolò Canepa on the Yamaha n ° 7 of the YART and its sister n ° 333 in the hands of Florian Alt, Florian Marino, Xavier Simeon and David Perret.
The Kawasaki n ° 11 of the SRC team, leading the night practice in 1’37.255 in the hands of Jeremy Guarnoni, David Checa and Erwan Nigon, will start from the 4th position ahead of the official Suzui n ° 2 of SERT (Vincent Philippe, Etienne Masson, Gregg Black and Gregory Leblanc) and the Honda n ° 111 Endurance Racing, yet leading the first tests in 1’37.305 (Sebastien Gimbert, Yonny Hernandez and Randy de Puniet).
"One of the smallest deviations ever seen"
Led by Josh Hook, Freddy Foray and Mike di Meglio, the Honda n ° 1 reigning world champion – and leader of the standings after its – is content with 7th place at the start with a cumulative time of 1’37.497 at nine tenths of leaders.
"It was still a hotly contested qualifying!", Summarizes the team manager of the Yamaha Austria Racing Team (YART): "even if we miss pole position by just 0.028 seconds, one of the smallest gaps ever, we are very satisfied with this performance. This second position at the start gives us 4 more points, so we go second in the championship ".
And above all, "we made the qualifying race tires because Bridgestone does not offer qualifying tires", continues Mandy Kainz. "So we know we have a good pace for the race and I think we have one of the best packages on the grid, not to say the best, so we’ll see what happens in the race".
