Gollin sets pole at Monza
BMS Scuderia Italia driver Fabrizio Gollin set pole position for tomorrow's FIA GT race at Monza. Gollin, who will share his Ferrari 550 Maranello with Luca Cappellari, won the FIA GT round at the Italian Grand Prix circuit last year and is on course for a repeat performance
Gollin set his best time of 1m43.509 during the dry second qualifying session, but was also quickest in the wet and slippery conditions of the first session.
The BMS Scuderia Italia squad completed a front-row lock-out, with the sister Ferrari of Matteo Bobbi and Gabriele Gardel recovering from a difficult first session to qualify second.
Ex-DTM ace Uwe Alzen and Michael Bartels were second quickest in the earlier session in their Vitaphone Racing Team Saleen S7 but they were knocked down into third when the track dried out.
The highest-placed car not built by Ferrari or Saleen will be the works Lister Storm of Tom Coronel, Paul Knapfield and British GT exponent Patrick Pearce, which will line up fifth, just ahead of another British team, Graham Nash Motorsport, in sixth.
Porsche veteran Stephane Ortelli and Emmanuel Collard were the top qualifiers in the N-GT class. They will line up 17th in their Porsche 996 GT3.
