The two Astons scorched around the track to take first and second grid positions ahead of the two factory Corvettes. Pedro Lamy set a new GT1 class qualifying lap record of 1.55.286.
The two Pirelli-shod Panoz Esperantes, now prepared by the Canadian Multimatic team, gridded first and third in class. Here too, Pirelli gained a new class qualifying record with pole sitter David Brabham registering the fastest lap at 2.03.563 in the Panoz.
