Qualifying 1: Gao Yujia pressed Zheng Yingcong to win the pole
The first qualifying session kicked off at 14:30 and was played in the glorious sunshine, with all cars carrying hot melt dry tires from Kumho ECSTA S700 races. After the first round of sprints, Gao Yujia, who returned to Shell's Heineken Formula 4 formula 4 at the end of the week, took the lead in the fast lap, taking the top spot at 1:49.514, and after one lap he continued to speed up, improving his performance to 1:49.296. Xu Shenghui was temporarily 0.622 seconds behind in second, and Liu Zexuan was in third.
Nearly halfway through the race, Liu Zexuan raised the benchmark to 1:48.879, becoming the first driver to break through 1:49. But Gao Yujia quickly returned the color, grabbing the back spot at 1:48.398. Jing Zefeng, Zheng Yingcong and Hu Chengru rose to the third, fourth and fifth positions respectively, Xu Shenghui's car was suspected of suffering mechanical failure and stopped on the side of the track to trigger the red flag, and his lap performance had fallen to sixth, and Li Sicheng was only 0.106 seconds away from him.
Shortly after the race resumed, Zheng Yingcong immediately improved her performance to second, and was only 0.036 seconds away from the top place! However, a minute later his car was stopped by a malfunction, an accident that also made him lose the possibility of impacting the pole position. There were less than 10 minutes left in the final race, and there was no further change in the final pick.
The difference between the top four drivers is locked at less than 0.488 seconds, and the competition is fierce. Gao Yujia pressed Zheng Yingcong to the top spot, Liu Zexuan was in third place, he would share the second row of parking spaces with Jing Zefeng, and the fifth to thirteenth places were: Hu Chengru, Xu Shenghui, Li Sicheng, Lu Jingxi, Huang Weifu, Zheng Hui, Ruan Cunfan, Li Qingxin and Michael Farrens.
