Video: Porsche on pole at Spa
Reigning world champion Neel Jani (CH) and Porsche newcomer Andre Lotterer (DE) achieved pole position for the second round of the FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC) in an action packed qualifying session in Spa-Francorchamps (BE). This means a 919 Hybrid will start for the 16th time in total from P1 since its debut in 2014. The Porsche GT Team used the 25-minute qualifying to prepare for the six-hour race. Both newly developed, 510 hp Porsche 911 RSR conducted a relatively short qualifying session in order to preserve the tires for the race. In the GTE-Pro class, the #91 vehicle shared by Frederic Makowiecki (France) and Richard Lietz (Austria) posted the fifth quickest time in qualifying. Kevin Estre (France) and Michael Christensen (Denmark) planted the sister car with the starting number 92 on the sixth grid spot.
