P1 – Antonio Torres (Team ProDina XCI)
“I’m very happy. This is my first pole position in WorldSSP300 and it feels incredible! It’s a great result for my team and we did a good job today. Free practice was difficult because my teammates, Julio Garcia and David Salvador, were very strong. Superpole was intense because Salvador was fast and he was right there. It’s amazing to be the fastest but the group will be big tomorrow. I expect that the pace will be fast and it will be a hard race.”
