Gruber again in Q2 – Update

Hong Nor’s Toni Gruber made it two from two in qualifier at the 1:8 GT World Championship, the German heading home top seed Jeff Hamon.  Opting to run another set of new tyres for the second qualifier, Gruber was unable to match his opening 24-lap run reporting afterwards that the tyres felt different but also accepting track conditions may have changed.  On second run tyres, Serpent’s Hamon would finish over 4-second down on his rival with another good run from Genius Racing’s Alex D’angelo seeing him go third fastest from the Xray of Natanaele Senesi.  Bernard-Alain Arnaldi and Gabriele Paloschi completed the Top 6.  While drivers appeared to have a better handle on the 7-minute run time compared to Q1, unfortunately it was another disappointing round for No.3 seed Andrea Catanzani as he flamed out during the top heat.
