Inman's first lap was a 1:27.536 set just six minutes into the session, before improving to a 1:27.298 and with just eleven minutes to go, breaking into the 26's with his pole time of 1:26.872. Johan Halvosen was the only driver to get within two tenths on Inman's first time as he lines up for his first ever front row start. Their respective team mates Adrien Simon and Stuart Harrison fill row two, though both were over a second off of pole, and Simon was visibly disappointed with his performance after a number of laps were ruined after he was caught in traffic, and a couple of mistakes were made too. Jochem van Snelheid and James Harding lock out row three for Lopez after setting identical times, with world champion Elroy Wagner heading team mate Enrique Ruiz on row four. Nikolai Milkovich and Puccio Giodano round out the top ten for Ingram and Ocelot respectively. Their team mates fill the row behind, with Jean Mattson leading Karl Beckenber in first outing for Ocelot. Carson Davenport will start thirteenth for FUN ahead of the AMR pair, with Lewis Ellington just ahead of new team mate Felix Beyer. Will Hoskins qualified sixteenth with the second FUN of Romano Agostino between him and Westwood team mate Tumo Kinnumen, the newly green liveried team clearly disappointed with their dramatic slump in performance from the end of 2015. Also with a drop in performance was Downton, as Thunder and Powers could only manage the tenth row, ahead of just the new teams. FIRST were the best of these on row eleven with Hutchinson ahead of Bacon, while North Star's Aleksy Nowosinki shares row twelve with Holmqvist's Kiara Thunder. At the back Judson Sikes had a miserable session filled with errors, while Aron Einarsson will line up last for his maiden V-Prix. Qualifying was held in sunny but cool conditions with the track temperature hovering around 20 degrees. Similar conditions are expected tomorrow though it is likely to be much colder, but will be dry after earlier threats of rain have vanished. Tyre choices for the race have also been unveiled, see below for full qualifying times and each drivers choice of tyre. Tyre choices in grid order
