Qualifying for tomorrow’s 24-hour marathon at the Dubai Autodrome track started exactly at 13:15 Polish time. While training and free trips as the whole team found that for the best grid positions will compete for the most experienced of the five players: Adam Gładysz and Robertas Kupcikas.

Be the first behind the wheel of a 330 horsepower SEAT Leon Supercopa sat down multiple racing champion Polish – Adam Gładysz. The whole session was scheduled on fairly short 30 minutes because Gładysz left the pit lane just after ignition of the green lights. After 15 minutes, the team captain returned to the pits to refuel the car and exchange of Robertas Kupcikas.

At this stage of the competition the Polish team held a high second place in the classroom A3T and lost to the German team rider BMW E46 M3 just over 0.2 seconds.

Refuel and change drivers ran very smoothly and after less than a minute Robertas Kupcikas was on the track warming up new tires. Volkswagen Golf Cup champion from 2014 years defeated two fast wheels, which managed to improve X-ray unit time to Gładysz Racing by 0.1 seconds. This was not enough to hop on a virtual pole, so Kupcikas opted for another exit into the pits just before the posting of the flag in white-checkered. 4 minutes before the end of Guillaume Roman of Peugeot established a very good 0.4 seconds slower time than the Polish team, which is why Kupcikas decided to test one more lap, where he received the best time of 2: 15.164

Tomorrow’s task that stands before representatives of the class A3 will certainly not be an easy one. In this year’s edition of the 24H Dubai race Hankook will be attended by a record number of entrants. At the start of state for 100 cars. Under these conditions, focus and concentration will be needed by the whole distance competition. Tomorrow’s struggles start Robertas Kupcikas that Adam Gładysz change. Subsequently, the SEAT Leon Supercopa will be hosted by Marcin Jaros, Jerzy Dudek and Simon Larsson.
