Robert Dahlgren keeps 100% pole run with Gelleråsen qualifying lap record

By

Robert Dahlgren has claimed his sixth straight pole position in the two STCC TCR Scandinavia qualifying sessions at Gelleråsen Arena, also beating the qualifying lap record.

The PWR Racing driver was fastest in Q1 with 1:05.348, a time he lowered further to 1:05.295 in Q2 behind the wheel of his Cupra León Competición.

Local hero Mikael Karlsson claimed his so far best qualifying result in Q1 with second position, just 96 thousands of a second from Dahlgren.

Dahlgren’s team-mate Mikaela Åhlin-Kottulinsky was third fastest, with Lestrup Racing Team driver Oliver Söderström in fourth, half a second from pole.

Lynk & Co driver Mattias Andersson rounded off the top five.

The Q2 session saw Åhlin-Kottulinsky making it a PWR Racing 1-2, two tenths behind her team-mate.

Volkswagen driver Söderström improved one place to third while his Lestrup Racing Team team-mate Karlsson dropped to fourth.

MA:GP driver Andersson was, just as in Q1, fifth, seven tenths from pole.

Disaster struck for Brink Motorsport driver Tobias Brink who could only manage tenth in Q1, a position he will start from in the first two races.

Race 1 at Gelleråsen Arena starts at 10:50 CEST tomorrow.
