Liqui Moly Team Engstler driver Johannes Leidinger has claimed pole position for the first race tomorrow at the Sachsenring ahead of reigning champion Jens Weimann.

Leidinger’s lap time of 1:31.977 in his BMW 320si E90 was just over half a second clear of Weimann in the identical 320si, with Ardi van der Hoek third quickest for RSK-Motorsport and Guido Naumann on his ADAC Procar Series debut fourth fastest for the Engstler team.

Swiss driver Markus Huggler was the last driver in the Super 2000-spec Division 1 class in fifth in the older BMW 320i E46, whilst Austrian driver David Griessner grabbed pole position in Division 2 with a time of 1:39.514 in his ETH Tuning Peugeot 207 Sport.

Ralf Glatzel qualified second in Division 2 in his Ford Fiesta 1.6 16v ahead of his two team-mates, Belarussian driver Yury Krauchuk and German Kai Jordan.

The first race gets underway at 8:40 CET tomorrow with the result of the race setting the grid for the race two in the afternoon.
