Robert de Haan, James Kellett and Darren Leung scored the pole position in the Bronze Cup. De Haan was an impressive eighth overall in Q3 behind the wheel of the No. 991 BMW of Paradine Competition. "I'm very, very happy with that qualifying. Big thanks to Paradine Competition for giving me the tools and the car to do it", said the Dutchman after the Friday night in Portimão. "Everything has been perfect and I had a really strong car underneath me. For sure, it's an important qualifying for the team, so I'm happy to grab pole position in class." With the bonus point for pole, Kellett and Leung are 15 points behind Kessel Racing's Dustin Blattner in the Bronze Cup standings in the Endurance Cup. Leung is only 4 points adrift from Winward Racing's Marvin Dienst and Rinat Salikhov in the combined Bronze Cup standings across the whole season. De Haan continued: "Now we've just got to focus on the race. It's a three-hour race, so we've got to focus on that. Keep the car in one piece and bring it home over the line, hopefully in the same position as where we qualified it." 📸 SRO/JEP x Paradine Competition #GTWorldEurope
