After qualifying 1, 2 and 3, the drivers of the Blancpain GT Series perform the Qualifying Race which determines the starting grid for the main race tomorrow.
After a good start the Audi # 1 and # 4 of the WRT team took the lead of the race but the # 84 Mercedes of the team HTP, and # 333 Ferrari of the team Rinaldi did not give rest to the #4 Audi and fought an exciting battle for 2nd place. Filipe Albuquerque by that strategy issues found himself relegated to 18th place on the grid (read here), and he made a remarkable recovery to give the 5th place to his teammate.
With the opening of the window ‘s time for cars to come to the pits for driver change, most teams chose to do at first. But the # 8 Bentley of the M-Sport team, as well as the # 99 BMW of the Rowe, chose to do it at the end of the time allowed. It was this little strategic difference that determined the final classification with the # 8 Bentley and the # 99 BMW finished in the top of the two positions and defining the first row of the grid for tomorrow’s race.
