The starting grid for the 6 Hours of Imola
The 6 Hours of Imola kicks off at 1pm. Ferrari will start from pole position, with a very threatening BMW on the second row.
Ferrari has been relentless since the beginning of the weekend. Will the Scuderia be able to maintain the pace throughout these 6 Hours of Imola? That’s the big question. If the Italian brand is in great shape, we must not forget BMW, which secured a third place in qualifying.
The Hypercar grid
On the front row, we will find the Ferrari #51, which secured pole position, with the #83 from the private AF Corse team alongside it.
Behind, the BMW #15 and the Toyota #7 occupy the second row. They will likely be the two biggest threats to the prancing horse cars.
In the third row, the other Japanese car, the #7, and the Alpine #36 will play the role of outsiders.
The fourth row will be 100% French with the Peugeot #93 of Jean-Éric Vergne and the Alpine #35.
The Cadillac #12 and the Porsche #6 close out the top 10. The American car will be one to watch as it can find pace and be a threat if it stays on track.
Behind, we’ll find the Peugeot #94 with the other official Porsche, the #5.
Very poorly qualified due to its many excursions beyond the track limits, the BMW #20 will start only 13th, with the Proton #99 Porsche alongside it.
The second Cadillac of Sébastien Bourdais will be on the second-to-last row with the Aston Martin #007. These two cars will make themselves heard with their melodies.
The second Aston Martin and the Ferrari #50 will close the march.
The grid in GT3
The WRT team did not hold back. Valentino Rossi and the BMW #46 will start from pole position with the Lexus #87 from Akkodis alongside.
The first Aston Martin will be found in third position, alongside the #21 Ferrari of the Vista AF Corse team.
The third row will consist of the second Lexus and the #88 Ford Mustang from Proton.
To find a Porsche on this starting grid, you have to go back to the seventh position. The McLaren #95 from United Autosport will be in eighth place.
Just behind, the other McLaren will be there with the TF Sport #81 Corvette.
The Vista AF Corse Ferrari #54 will share the third row with the other BMW from WRT, which struggled during the first phase of qualifying.
The second Ford from Proton will have to battle with the Porsche from the Iron Dames for this start.
We will then find the Aston Martin of Racing Spirit of Léman, which couldn’t find solutions in qualifying. The car from the French team will be alongside the #33 Corvette, which has been struggling in the fast lap exercise since Qatar.
Finally, the two Iron Lynx Mercedes will bring up the rear. The #60 will start ahead of the #61.
