HTP Racing secured pole position for the opening race of the second Dutch GT4 Championship round at Zandvoort. Indy Lights driver Junior Strous, who is at Zandvoort rather than at the Milwaukee Mile, was the fastest driver this morning.

Strous posted a 1:49.656, just 0.024s slower than the pole position for the opening race of the season last month. Jan Joris Verheul in the KS Motorsport Ginetta G50 was second fastest in this session in 1:49.824.

Third fastest was the Raceplanet Team Bleekemolen BMW M3 GT4 in 1:49.858. The top ten was within one second of each other.

The Dutch GT4 cars will return to the track twice today with the second qualifying session planned for 12:00 and the first race at 14:40.
