Qualifying 1: Kovalainen on pole

Carroll made the most of the cooler conditions in the scholarship class session to claim his best starting position of the season, and can wrap up the class title this weekend.

James Courtney, returning to the championship after missing the last round at Rockingham through injury, will start third in his quest to regain the points lead from Robbie Kerr. His cause will be aided by Kerr's disappointing starting position of 11th.

Carroll's Sweeny Racing team-mate Robert Dahlgren, winner of last season's British Formula Ford Championship, will start fourth ahead of Malboro Masters winner Fabio Carbone and Mark Taylor.
