Aitken Snatches GTP Pole in Dramatic Qualifying
28 Jun
Summary
- Jack Aitken set a new GTP track record for pole position.
- Qualifying was delayed by track repairs and an incident.
- Multiple classes saw close battles for top starting spots.
Jack Aitken has claimed pole position for the Sahlen's Six Hours of The Glen, setting a new GTP track record with a lap time of 1m31.284s. This remarkable performance came after a lengthy delay in qualifying, which was postponed for substantial track repairs following an incident during a preceding race.
The session eventually commenced but was further interrupted by a red flag in the GTD class due to a crash. Despite these challenges, Aitken expressed satisfaction with his car's performance and his ability to deliver a controlled, fast lap under pressure.
In other classes, Jeremy Clarke secured pole in LMP2 with a late-fastest lap, while Jack Hawksworth took the top spot in GTD Pro, breaking a career pole record. The GTD class saw its grid set by team points following a red flag incident that prevented the class from meeting minimum green flag time.
