Asmer adds race two pole

Asmer won a hard-fought pole duel with Carlin Motorsport driver Maro Engel, who had been hindered by an engine management issue in the morning session.

But the big talking point will be Michael Devaney, whose third place in the Ultimate Motorsport Mygale is far and away the car's best qualifying performance in its debut season.

Rodolfo Gonzalez (T-Sport) maintained his fine form in the top Mugen-Honda-powered entry, claiming fourth. He was a fraction clear of Greg Mansell (Fortec Motorsport) and Atte Mustonen (Double R Racing).

Sergio Perez (T-Sport) made it a National Class pole double, and kept a couple of Championship Class cars between himself and Franky Cheng (Performance Racing).
