Qualifying was dominated by Nissan. Mark Blundell in car 24 pulled out a phenomenal lap to qualify six seconds faster than anyone else (helped by the turbo wastegate sticking wide open), with the Japanese marque securing first, third, fourth and fifth on the grid. They were split by the Brun Porsche driven by Oscar Larrauri. The 25 Nissan which qualified fifth had a very short race. The car had to start from pit lane due to a issue with the gearbox, but it didn’t even complete a full lap before the problem proved terminal and it had to pull up.
