Jordi Oriola led the Single-Make Trophy class in third overall with Tuenti Racing, with Mat’o Homola qualifying in fourth for his family-run team ahead of the NIS Petrol Racing SEAT of Dusan Borkovic.

Ravenol Team GENA’s Kevin Krammes again was fastest in the Super 1600 classification, just under a tenth of a second faster than Gilles Bruckner’s Lux Racing Ford Fiesta.

The session was one of the closest seen all season with the top 14 cars all covered by one second.
