Palmer takes strong sixth in qualifying
Will Palmer recorded the sixth quickest time in qualifying, meaning he will start tomorrow's race on the third row of the grid.
At the start of the session, Palmer went out near the front, and went P3 early on.
However, as the fifteen minute session progressed, other cars went quicker, relegating Will to P8, before he put in a 54.505 on the second last lap, moving him up to P6.
Sennan Fielding was quickest with a 54.164, just two hundredths ahead of Will's HHC teammate Charlie Robertson, who was followed by Niall Murray.
Palmer will also start sixth for the second race, as the grid for that race is dictated by each person's second quickest lap, with Charlie Robertson on pole.
"Overall, it has been another good day, and this qualifying position leaves us in a good place for both races, with my sights set on a podium finish. It was unfortunate that I couldn't find a slipstream which could have given me the few tenths I needed, but the race tomorrow will be tight and I should be able to stick with and hopefully pass a few people of the lead pack."
Will is back on track tomorrow at 11 00 for race one and at 16 20 for race two, with both being broadcasted live on ITV4.
