Reigning champion Kasper Jensen (Honda) could only manage the third fastest time, 0.236 from pole, heading his two Mascot Motorsport team-mates.

Gustav Birch was fourth fastest, just 12 thousands of a second slower than Jensen, with Malte Edbrup in fifth, four tenths from pole.

Jacob Wunderow was sixth fastest ahead of René Povlsen and Philip Lindberg who was eighth and last.

Missing from this race weekend is Kim König due to a back injury and Lars Højris who chose not to take part in this round.

The first race of the weekend starts at 12:15 CEST on Sunday.
