Bruni Takes Final GTE-Pro Pole
Gianmaria Bruni took the final pole position in the GTE-Pro era in a session that saw championship leader Alessandro Pier Guidi spin on his final lap.
Bruni reeled off a best lap of 1:56.143 in the No. 91 Porsche 911 RSR-19, 0.276 seconds clear of the No. 52 AF Corse Ferrari 488 GTE Evo.
While the two Italian drivers locked out the front row, the two main protagonists in the GTE-Pro title battle put themselves on the second row.
Michael Christensen took third in the No. 92 Porsche. The Dane initially looked en route to join Bruni, but had his final lap deleted for track limits.
Christensen completed his final flyer mere moments after Alessandro Pier Guidi spun the No. 51 Ferrari coming out of turn 13, but was able to continue.
This prevented from Pier Guidi from improving, leaving him fourth on the grid.
Nick Tandy rounded out the class in last place, driving the No. 64 Chevrolet Corvette C8.R, over a second away from Bruni.
