Conway completes double pole
Britain's Mike Conway made it a double pole position after a thrilling second British Formula Three qualifying session at Donington Park today (Saturday)
For once Conway's Double R Racing teammates have struggled and he will be fighting Hitech Racing and Carlin Motorsport in tomorrow's races.
Conway had the edge throughout a session that was constantly under threat from light drizzle, although Carlin drivers Christian Bakkerud and Oliver Jarvis briefly held the front row positions as the chequered flag was being readied.
But last-ditch efforts from Conway and Hitech driver James Walker were just enough to edge the Carlin pair onto row two, causing huge disappointment in the team's garage.
Championship leader Bruno Senna struggled in this session, the Brazilian always a step behind the rest. He starts eighth and could be in for a difficult race tomorrow afternoon.
