Linda Thun Tonseth had her best showing to date in what is one of the older cars in the European fuel racing fleet. A final session 4.120/275 was only bested by Rune Fjeld team mate Poutiainen’s pole setter in that qualifying round, placing the Norwegian rookie third on the ladder behind Carter. A first round win on the FIA tour wasn’t to be as a loud metallic clang after reversing from the burnout indicated something awry in the drivetrain and handed Lex Joon a freebie into the semi-finals.
