ALMS @ LONG BEACH // QUALIFYING RESULTS

Following a very close battle with Highcroft HPD's Simon Pagenaud, Adrian Fernandez put Aston Martin on pole position for round two of the American Le Mans Series in Long Beach. In the first event for the newly combined LMP class, the LMP1 Aston Martin and LMP2 HPD seemed evenly matched. Fernandez set the early pace, but was then bested by Pagenaud shortly before the session was stopped in order to clear debris from the track. When the session resumed, Fernandez reclaimed P1 with a 1:13.213 lap time, while Pagenaud was forced to settle for second after lapping some 0.072 seconds slower than Fernandez. Rounding out the top three was the Lola-Mazda of Dyson and Smith, who ended the session 1.046 seconds behind the HPD entry of Pagenaud and Brabham.
