Qualifying<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n

Qualifying sessions are contested using dedicated LeCont Yellow Sport tires, which feature the Super Soft Compound specifically provided for the Shifter Trophy category. Each driver completes a single out lap to warm up and prepare their vehicle, followed by two timed laps<\/strong> that determine their qualifying position. To ensure safety and fairness, there is a strict limit of no more than two drivers on the track simultaneously during their flying laps<\/strong>.
Spectators have the opportunity to follow all the action live, with the added excitement of onboard footage displayed prominently on the Fanatic Sports video wall<\/strong>. This setup allows every qualifying lap to be fully visible and engaging for the audience, enhancing the overall experience of the event.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
