RYAN WOOD has continued his ongoing Porsche Michelin Sprint Challenge fight for supremacy with Thomas Sargent, grabbing the TAG Heuer Pole Award at The Bend Motorsport Park.
“I was pretty happy with that,” commented Wood. ”It was back and forth between myself and Tom the whole session, but I had to jag one out at the end there. But moving forward we should be good in the races and hopefully take out a couple race wins this weekend.
“I literally did it with a lap to go, we’re just getting used the green tyre as we don’t run a lot of greens. With the rain forecast for tomorrow, hopefully we can carry on where we left in Sandown, I haven’t driven much in the wet, Sandown was my first time, so hopefully we can come away with the race win.”
A late flyer was good enough to pop the Team Porsche NZ / Earl Bamber Motorsport driver to the top of the charts, bumping Sargent to second with a The Bend record 1m50.4916s flyer.
It’s his fourth consecutive pole position in Sprint Challenge this season.
Saturday action commences with the first eight-lap race at 10:10am ACDT, followed by the 22-lap Jim Richards Endurance Trophy race at 12:45pm.
