Pfaff Motorsports' red plaid No. 9 Lamborghini Huracan GT3 EVO2 has been quickest so far in GTD PRO in every session, up to and including Andrea Caldarelli's pole-winning effort today.
The Italian did just enough to displace Dan Harper from provisional pole with his first flying lap of 1m44.718s.
That would have been enough for Caldarelli to snag the top spot, but he found further improvements every time he circulated, eventually landing with a 1m44.595s, to give Pfaff its first pole as a Lamborghini customer team.
Harper in the No. 48 Paul Miller Racing BMW M4 GT3 EVO tried one more push with a new set of tires, but he couldn't improve from his 1m44.737s and held on to his outside front-row start on the GT grid.
Nicky Catsburg qualified third in the No. 4 Pratt Miller Motorsports Chevrolet Corvette Z06 GT3.R, barely edging out the white No. 81 DragonSpeed Ferrari 296 GT3 of Albert Costa in fourth. Aaron Telitz qualified fifth in the No. 14 Vasser Sullivan Racing Lexus RC F GT3, ahead of the
No. 3 Corvette of Alexander Sims; GTD PRO points leader Klaus Bachler was only ninth in the No. 77 AO Racing Porsche 911 GT3 R, out of ten cars.
Zacharie Robichon gave the No. 27 Heart of Racing Aston Martin Vantage GT3 its first GTD pole of the season. Robichon was the first GT driver to eclipse the 1m45s barrier this weekend when he set a 1m44.788s halfway through the session.
Only Alec Udell in the No. 36 DXDT Racing Corvette eclipsed the 1m45s barrier with him, qualifying in second place.
Daniel Morad and Russell Ward will make up an all-Mercedes second row in GTD; Morad was third in the No. 32 Korthoff Competition Motors Mercedes-AMG GT3 EVO, ahead of GTD Championship leader Ward in the No. 57 Winward Racing Mercedes-AMG.
Parker Thompson in the No. 12 Vasser Sullivan Lexus, Lorenzo Patrese in the No. 47 Cetilar Racing Ferrari and Alessandro Pier Guidi in the No. 21 AF Corse Ferrari followed, in fifth through seventh.
Of note, Adam Adelson was 16th in the No. 120 Wright Motorsports Porsche, carrying the Chip Hart Racing livery from "F1: The Movie" ahead of its release next week.
The Sahlen's Six Hours of the Glen starts Sunday at 12:10 p.m. ET (local time), airing in the United States live on NBC and Peacock, and in over 200 countries on the official IMSA YouTube channel and IMSA.TV.
