Porsche - Austin Qualifying

After sweltering heat and bright sunshine during Friday’s practice sessions, the Formula 1 circuit on the outskirts of Austin offered a stark contrast for qualifying under grey skies and patchy rain. On the drying asphalt, lap times tumbled during the first segment of qualifying. At the wheel of the No. 6 Porsche 963, France’s Kévin Estre advanced into the Hyperpole, while his compatriot Julien Andlauer narrowly missed out on a place in the final shootout in eleventh.
