The Ford driver was fastest by 0.360 seconds but blew his engine right after passing the finishing line on his last lap, leaving the team with a tough job ahead of the race tomorrow.

Emiliano Spataro and Facundo Ardusso managed to the the exact same time down to the thousand of a second, with Spataro setting his time first and will thanks to that start second ahead of Ardusso.

Vivian Franco claimed fourth fastest time ahead of top Toyota driver in the form of Matias Rossi. Ricardo Risatti claimed sixth fastest time ahead of Agustin Canapino, Gillermo Ortelli and Christian Ledesma.

Championship leader Mariano Werner had a tough qualifying session and will start from 14th position after making contact with Matias Muñoz Marchesi in Q2. The incident left Werner fuming and the organisers removed all times for Marchesi as penalty.
