The
Reiter Lamborghini No.25 of Peter Kox (NLD) and Darryl O’Young (CHN)

“Now
we have to concentrate on converting the fast pace in Qualifying into a
solid race performance. It’s my first visit to this track here at
Navarra and it’s a good start
to the weekend for us.”

Bartels (DEU) and Yelmer Buurman (NLD) in the No.18 Vita4One Racing BMW
Z4 were second followed by their Austrian team-mates Mathias Lauda and
Nikolaus Mayr-Melnhof
