Superpole success for Seabright

April 19, 2024

On a drying track Fenton Seabright (Kawasaki GP Project) claimed the second pole position of his Superpole 300 career.

In ever improving conditions the 21 year old was able to time his lap to perfection to set the fastest time at the end of the 25 minute Superpole session.

The changing track conditions caught out Jeffrey Buis (Freudenberg KTM-PALIGO Racing) in the closing stages and the reigning World Champion will start from the fourth row of the grid. The resulting yellow flags also cost Julio Garcia Gonzalez (KOVE Racing Team). Having set the fastest time in the session the 17 year old was relegated to 28th on the grid for tomorrow’s opening race of the weekend.

“I’m really happy with this pole position. It was wet at the start of Superpole and in the last five minutes we decided to switch to slicks. It paid off for us! There was a dry line around the track and that last sector was difficult but I brought it home. I’m happy with the job we did because we’ve been able to qualify at the front. We’ll take it session by session and see how the race runs.”
