Norris beats Defourny to final Motorland pole

1 Mins read

On the back of his first win on Saturday, Lando Norris secured his maiden Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0 Series pole position as he led Group A at Motorland Aragon on Sunday.

The Josef Kaufmann Racing driver set a best time of 1m55.294s to outpace Group B pacesetter Max Defourny of R-ace GP by just under two-tenths of a second.

Having set the second fastest time in Group A behind Norris, his fellow Briton Harrison Scott will therefore start third for AVF, alongside Tech 1 Racing’s Dorian Boccolacci, with the Frenchman second fastest behind Defourny in Group B.

Fortec Motorsports will fill out row three, with Russian wildcard entrant Nikita Troitskiy outpacing all of his team-mates during the session, with Brazilian Bruno Baptista alongside his team-mate in sixth.

Frenchman Julien Falcero will start seventh for R-ace GP alongside Russian teenager Robert Shwartzman of Josef Kaufmann Racing, while two more Russians, Alexey Korneev and Vasily Romanov completed the top ten, for JD Motorsport and Fortec respectively.

Following his crash during race one, the sole Technorace driver Alessandro Perullo did not take to the track, having been ruled out of the weekend due to the damage incurred when he hit Rodrigo Pflucker and then Hugo de Sadeleer. Cram Motorsport’s Pflucker will start race three from twenty-second position, while Tech 1 Racing’s de Sadeleer was seventeenth.
