An eventful and enjoyable qualifying session saw Championship leader Abbi Pulling claim pole position for both Race 1 and 2. 

As the time started, the drivers all flooded the track ready to give it their all. Nerea Marti was the first to set a lap time of 2:06:806 but was quickly beaten by Pulling. Abbi's pace continued however, her second flying lap coming in at a 2:04:662 putting her almost five tenths clear.

​Pin and Weug then improved their times knocking Pulling down to third. Pulling responded though with an even better lap which put her 0.040s. Maya Weug then set a 2:04:179 which was short lived as Dorianne cleared Maya's time by over 2 tenths. 

As some of the grid returned to the pits ready for a second set of tires, Amna Al Qubaisi had a moment which caused her to spin off onto the run-off area in sector one. 
 
More grip was found on the second set of tires as personal bests were being set up and down the order. It didn't take long for Pulling to re-emerge out in front, setting a 2:03:631. She tried to improve her lap with less than a minute remaining which she failed to do. Luckily for her though however, nobody else was able to come close.
