Parente Takes Second Pole

The Portugese driver, who had only qualified third for race one, pulled out a quick lap to take the position by six hundredths of a second from Fortec Motorsport's Mike Conway.

Parente's Carlin Motorsport teammate and race one polesitter Charlie Kimball qualified third, just 0.076s off Parente's pole.

However it was not a complete success for Carlin as Dane Christian Bakkerud crashed for the second successive session and ended up 13th.

In the first session Bakkerud had a lucky escape when he crashed into the tyres at Tower. Moments later Steven Kane spun and rode over the top of the Bakkerud's car. Thankfully, the Dane had the time to get out before Kane hit the Dallara Mugen-Honda.

Kane's Promatecme team were unable to repair his car from the earlier incident and he did not complete a lap in the second session.

Nick Jones, who also had an accident in the first session, was another not to have his car repaired in time for the second session and will join Kane on the back row tomorrow.

Chalrie Hollings secured the National Class pole.
