Ian Wakins will start from GT-AM pole, 11th overall.

Ichor Racing’s Lance Garassino will start from pole position for the 2016 SA simGT opening sprint race at Donington.

In the 15 min qualifying session Garassino was quick to lay down the gauntlet to post a lap of 1:28.284, on his first attempt, to not go quicker for the rest of the session. GhostworX Racing’s Basheer Jadwat too was fastest on his first attempt to miss Garissino’s time by just 0.131 sec.

In GT-AM, it was Ian Watkins in the sole Synergy Racing entry who claimed pole 0.65 sec ahead of nearest rival Chris Chetty. Watkins’ time also earned a solid overall 11th position starting position.

The race will be available to watch online from 11:00 AM on Sunday , 07 February 2016, on Sim Race South Africa’s Youtube Channel – subscribe now.
