Gollin's Zhuhai pole
In the absence of newly-crowned FIA GT champions Fabrizio Gollin and Luca Cappellari, the sister BMS Scuderia Italia Ferrari 550, driven by Matteo Bobbi and Gabriele Gardel, will start from pole position in the series finale at Zhuhai in China on Sunday
With Cappellari missing the race for business reasons, his partner Gollin opted to miss the race so the pair could share the drivers' crown. Their car, driven by Luca Drudi, Nicola Cadei and Frederic Dor, qualified 14th - some 1.7s off the 1m31.121s pole time.
The works Maseratis were second and third fastest - the Johnny Herbert/Fabrizio de Simone MC12 getting the better of the Andrea Bertolini/Mika Salo car. Enzo Calderari, Lilian Bryner and Christophe Bouchut were fourth fastest in the Care Racing Ferrari 550.
Walter Lechner Jr was the fastest of the Saleen drivers in fifth in the Konrad S7 he shares with Alex Margaritis and Franz Konrad, while Thomas Erdos and Mike Newton were sixth fastest in the RML-run S7.
Christian Pescatori took pole in the N-GT class for the sixth time this season. The Italian, who shares his GPC Ferrari 360 Modena with Jaime Melo, lapped in 1m36.315s. Right behind the Ferrari on the grid are the two N-GT championship contending Freisinger Porsche crews of Stephane Ortelli and Emmanuel Collard (points leaders) and Sascha Maassen and Lucas Luhr.

Why Britain's greatest sportscar was eclipsed on the world stage
The E-Type may be the most famous of all road-going Jaguars, but that didn't always translate into success on the track. After winning on its competition debut in 1961, motorsport success seemed an inevitability, but things didn’t turn out to be quite that straightforward
Why the Jaguar E-type remains special at 60
It’s 60 years since the Jaguar E-type arrived and caused a sensation. As our resident racer Ben Anderson discovered when he got behind the wheel of two special racing versions at Brands Hatch, the thrill of driving them hasn't diminished over time
The rise of a GT squad responsible for a unique 24-hour racing feat
It's a significant achievement to win one 24-hour race in a year, let alone two, and with different manufacturers, but that's exactly what ROWE Racing did in 2020 at the Nurburgring and Spa. This weekend's German classic offers the DTM newcomer a chance of another unique double to add to its growing collection of accolades
The new threat facing motorsport's greatest success story

The Lamborghini teams plotting to stop a RAM raid on British GT
With the Silver pairings that dominated 2020 now banned, Mercedes pair Yelmer Buurman and Ian Loggie could be in the box seat after winning last year's Pro-Am crown. But a swarm of Lamborghinis, with the defending outright champion among them, will ensure they face tough opposition
How McLaren’s GT3 ‘single-seater’ defies expectations
Time in a thoroughbred racer leaves you searching for time in yourself, especially when the rewards for total commitment are so high, as our man discovered at Snetterton
How Ferrari's F1 protege became a Mercedes GT prodigy
Raffaele Marciello once appeared to be Ferrari’s next Italian F1 star, but is now under the pay of its German arch-rival in GTs – and he’s very happy with his life
Why GTE's future is a conundrum with no easy answers
The convergence between the World Endurance Championship and IMSA over LMDh regulations offers a bright future for sportscar racing, but the imminent demise of IMSA's GT Le Mans class creates wider issues to which no catch-all solution exists
