Rainey He takes pole for Ford at Shanghai

Rainey He has claimed the pole position in the Super Production class for the first round of the 2011 China Touring Car Championship, which will take place this Sunday at Shanghai’s Tian Ma Shan Circuit.

The Chang’an Ford FRD Team has dominated in Super Production qualifying with Rainey He claiming pole position, with team mates Jiang Tengyi and Andy Yan filling the rest of the top three positions.

The performance of the Super Production Turbo class however seems far away from satisfactory. The best result is claimed by Wang Rue of Shanghai VW 333 Racing, who qualified in 11th.

Pole position in the China Production class (CPC) was claimed by Martin Ma Qing Hua for Hyundai.

He Zhi Yan and Chen Yu, the duo from Haima Z1 Racing, both qualified in second and third place in CPC.
