David set a 2:02.400 lap time in his No. 04 HP-TECH Motorsport Ferrari 296 GT3 Evo, 0.855 seconds ahead of championship rival Kyle Washington.

Washington in the No. 32 GMG Racing Porsche 911 GT3 R Evo pipped points leader Memo Gidley to second place on the grid. Gidley, who has completed a clean sweep of wins so far this season with his SKI Autosports Audi R8 LMS GT3 Evo II, will be joined on the second row by Mirco Schultis in the Mishimotors Callaway Corvette 7 GT3-R. Ross Chouest completed the top five in the session with a 2:04.148 lap time in his No. 50 Chouest Povoledo Racing Chevrolet Corvette Z06 GT3.R. Ginetta chairman Lawrence Tomlinson took his Dolla...

Photo: Fabrizio Boldoni/DPPI BMW used an alternative strategy to catapult into the lead of the 6 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps FIA World Endurance Championship round as the race reached half-distance. Diverging strategies among the lead contenders have created an intriguing battle for honors as the No. 20 BMW M Hybrid V8 was one of three crews to make shorter stops in their opening pit visit to vault up the order. Sheldon van der Linde maintained an impressive pace to pull 22.576 seconds clear of the No. 8 Toyota TR010 Hybrid of Ryo Hirakawa that was the first to throw the dice and go for the alternate strategy by stopping inside the first hour. The No. 12 Hertz Team JOTA Cadillac V-Series.R that had moved into the lead on the first lap remained the first of the cars running a more conventional strategy for the majority of the second and third hours. But Antonio Felix da Costa briefly emerged ahead after the second round of stops in the No. 35 Alpine A424 before Louis Deletraz inst...

Photo: Fabrizio Boldoni/DPPI Toyota Racing technical director David Floury says it was “disappointing” and is “raising some concerns” that the manufacturer was unable to progress to the Hyperpole shootout for the 6 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps FIA World Endurance Championship round. Three weeks after Toyota was within a whisker of taking pole for the Imola season-opener and then executed a perfected strategy to win the race, the two TR010 Hybrids struggled far more at Spa and languished down in 12th and 16th places after qualifying . Floury “knew it would be a tough weekend” heading into Spa but dismissed any notion that Toyota was sandbagging in Belgium by pointing out that it went faster in qualifying this year than in 2025. “It’s generally not our best track here since some years,” said Floury. “We continue this trend. “There are different ways to look at quali and Hyperpole today. It is obviously disappointing and...

Photo: Fred Hardy/SRO Spencer Pumpelly and Matheus Leist grabbed pole position for the fourth and fifth rounds of the Pirelli GT4 America season at Sebring International Raceway. Qualifying was decided across two 15-minute sessions, with the first defining the grid for Race 1 and the second session setting the running order for Race 2. RS1 driver Pumpelly grabbed pole for Race 1 in the No. 028 Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS Clubsport with a 2:10.740 lap time. Pumpelly was the only driver to dip below a 2:11 lap time in the opening qualifying session. Silver class championship leader Westin Workman was 0.528 seconds behind in the No. 68 RAFA Racing Team Toyota GR Supra GT4 EVO2 that he shares with Tyler Gonzalez. Third place for Race 1 was seized by Kevin Boehm in Auto Technic Racing’s BMW M4 GT4 EVO. Boehm won both of the GT4 America rounds at Sebring last year, driving alongside Kenton Koch in a Random Vandals Racing BMW. The No. 131 Advance Motorsports McLaren Artura GT4 completed t...

Tyler McQuarrie was third quickest overall and second fastest in the Pro-Am class in the No. 38 BimmerWorld BMW that he drives alongside Michael Petramalo. The ACI Motorsports Porsche rounded out the ...
