Alon Day mastered Brands Hatch
10 times has Alon Day competed in the EuroNASCAR PRO at the Brands Hatch Circuit so far in his career and won thrice but never has been on pole – until today. The CAAL Racing driver clocked a 48.903-lap to grab his first ever Pole Position at the Indy Circuit ahead of Valencia double winner Loris Hezemans in the #7 Hendriks Motorsport Ford Mustang. The gap? Just 0.097 seconds.
Reigning EuroNASCAR 2 Champion Vittorio Ghirelli followed in sixth at the wheel of his Hendriks Motorsport Ford Mustang, while new DF1 Racing driver Alexander Graff finished seventh. Enjoying his home race, Alex Sedgwick was eighth ahead of Federic Gabillon and Giorgio Maggi, who completed the top-10 of the 21-car field at the NASCAR GP UK. Henri Tuomaala topped the Challenger Trophy standings in 14th. The session was red flagged two minutes before the end as Igor Romanov got stuck in the gravel.
Deodhar gets maiden pole before the rain
Advait Deodhar scored his first ever NASCAR Whelen Euro Series Pole Position today at Brands Hatch. The Indian, who’s living in London, clocked a 49.918-lap and beat Tobias Dauenhauer by 0.192 seconds. Deodhar had some help from the skies as rain started to fall right around the half-time of the 30-minute session. NWES rookie Miguel Gomes spun with his slick tires and triggered a short red flag period.
42 Racing’s Fracesco Garisto completed the top-5 with a 0.594-gap from the pole setter. Valencia double winner Martin Doubek followed in sixth ahead of Max Lanza and Simon Pilate. Pierluigi Veronesi and Sokolovskiy, who led the Legend Trophy standings, closed the top-10. Alina Loibnegger beat Arianna Casoli in the battle for the best starting position in the Lady Trophy.
