The AUH Motorsport-run Ferrari 458 Italia GT3 with Rob Barff in the cockpit will start the 7th edition of the Dunlop 24 Hours of Dubai form pole position after Barff, the team's leading driver, set the fastest lap in the final qualifying session of the day Thursday.
With the sun setting Barff dug deep to claim top spot on the grid with a lap time of 2m02.092 seconds on his final flying lap of the session at Dubai Autodrome, and thus stumping a high quality field of 74 cars. It is also the first ever pole position for Ferrari in the 24 Hours of Dubai since its inception and it will be an all red front row for the start.
Second on the grid, 0.294 seconds down on the pole winner, will be the AF Corse Ferrari 458 Italia which Niki Cadei did well to top the first qualifying session and enough to ensure second place on the grid.
Surprising all was the JRM Nissan GT-R GT3 with Michael Krumm snatching third place place on the timing and will share the second row with the United Autosports 2 Audi R8 GT3 LMS who set the fourth best time.
Row three will be headed up by the Reiter Engineering Lamborghini Gallardo LP600 which will start alongside theMRS GT Racing Porsche 997 GT3R.
The United Autosports 1 Audi R8 GT3 LMS will start from seventh place alongside the Dubai based Gulf Racing 2 Lamborghini Gallardo LP600 in eighth slot on the grid.
Last year’s winners Saudi Falcons by Schubert BMW Z4 GT3 were surprisingly low down the order and will start the race from 18th on the grid.
The race will start at 2 p.m. Friday.
