The 38 drivers entered for the Formula Renault 2.0 Eurocup were split into 2 groups: even numbers in Group A and uneven ones in Group B.
Group A was first out and Nick de Vries (R-Ace GP) quickly set a target time with a lap in 1m 57.308s. Under threat from Oliver Rowland and Oscar Tunjo, de Vries upped the pace and bagged provisional pole in 1m 56.434s on his first qualifying session in a single-seater! Into second came Norman Nato (RC Formula) followed by Miki Weckstrom (KTR).
Nyck de Vries : “I asked my team not to give me any information during the session as I wanted to concentrate on my driving 100%. I felt I was putting in good laps and that paid off. Honestly, I didn’t expect to achieve this result so early on in the season.”
