Jack Aitken took pole position for both race one and two at Silverstone during qualifying on Saturday morning as the current Eurocup Formula Renault Series championship leader Louis Deletraz struggled.
Aitken, racing this year for Koiranen GP, set two laps within 0.001s of each other to take the top spot for both races, with his 1m57.294s enough to displace Group A pacesetter Harrison Scott of AVF.
Scott will start race one from the front row, while row two sees Kevin Jörg of Josef Kaufmann Racing alongside Darius Oskoui of ART Junior Team, while row three sees Koiranen GP of Jake Hughes alongside one of Fortec Motorsports’ wild card entries this weekend Jehan Daruvala.
Dennis Olsen of Manor MP Motorsport will start seventh, while Fortec Motorsports trio Ben Barnicoat, Ferdinand Habsburg and Martin Kodric complete the top ten.
Championship leader Deletraz could only qualify in twelfth for Josef Kaufmann Racing, just behind ART Junior Team’s wild card entry Will Palmer.
For race two, Aitken set a best time of 1m57.295s to take top spot, and will be joined on the front row this time by Barnicoat, while Jörg and Scott form row two ahead of Hughes and Deletraz.
Ukyo Sasahara will start race two from eighth for ART Junior Team ahead of JD Motorsport’s Thiago Vivacqua and Oskoui.
Anthoine Hubert, currently sitting third in the championship, had a disappointing session, spinning at high-speed at Copse corner and qualifying in eighteenth and twenty-second respectively for the two races in his Tech 1 Racing entry.
