A deadline where it is imperative to be among the top 14 to have your entry ticket to Q2 this afternoon. Note that the track record dating from 2015 and owned by Danny Kent could be crossed out this Saturday, given the pace displayed since the start of this German Grand Prix in the category.

Antonelli enters the top 10 leaves Canet 12e. Arbolino climbs fourth, ahead McPhee et Öncü. Ten minutes from the goal, the protagonists return to the box to fit new tires and launch into a final assault against the clock. The Leopard duo attempts a series of concert tours.
