Théophile Nael took his third consecutive Aramco Pole Position award to start the season, beating Campos Racing teammate and current Toyota Formula Regional Oceania champion Ugo Ugochukwu (main photo) to pole in Barcelona. Nael’s 1:28.263 was enough to seal him take P1 ahead of Ugochukwu by just 0.039s, with Van Amersfoort Racing’s Hiyu Yamakoshi in third.
Kiwi driver Louis Sharp set the 17th fastest time. Gerrard Xie is set to start from reverse grid pole in Saturday’s Barcelona Sprint Race which is scheduled to get underway at 10:05 local time.
