Davide Uboldi conquered the pole position at the Autodromo Internazionale del Mugello: the driver from Como was the fastest during the qualifying round with a lap time of 1:47.869. It’s the first pole position finish for the Italian multi-champion, as Matteo Roccadelli (BHK Motorsport) had snatched the first spot on the grid in the previous rounds. Therefore Uboldi finished on top a session that was interrupted two times by the two brothers, Emil and Linus Hellberg; the first was the protagonist of a crash with 18 minutes to go and caused the first red flag, b

Emil Hellberg will start behind Uboldi, as he missed the pole position by only 58 thousands. Third was Alister Yoong: the Malaysian, 694 thousands behind, will start seventh in race-1 due to a 4-position penalty after a contact with Roccadelli and Emil Hellberg in Monza. The seut was still able to rejoin the track. The other brother, Linus, did almost the same but with 7 minutes to go, bringing out the red flag but without compromising his result.cond row of the grid will therefore see Pietro Ferri (Emotion Motorsport), who conquered his best finish of the season so far, and Linus Hellberg, fourth.

Fifth was Jesse Menczer ahead of Giovanni Mazza (Emotion Motorsport). The eighth spot was claimed by the championship leader Matteo Roccadelli, who will start from pole in race-2 thanks to the reversed grid; however, the young driver, will have to serve an eight-position penalty in race-1 as he failed to follow the race direction’s instructions in the Monza round. Therefore Donald Milokanovic will be the one starting from the eighth position, while Roccadelli will close the grid in ninth.
