Rodin Motorsport’s Alex Ninovic and Hillspeed’s Kanato Le claimed pole positions at Spa-Francorchamps, elevating the former to the summit of this year’s competition.
Ninovic’s second pole of the year, following his first at Zandvoort, means the Australian has two for the year so far, equalling Hillspeed’s Freddie Slater at the top of the standings. His lap of 2m14.905s came in a disrupted session, and put him a quarter of a second clear of the pack.
Meanwhile, Le’s first pole came with a qualifying lap record-beating time of 2m13.740s in Q2, almost four tenths quicker than his nearest challenger.
Both drivers earned a trophy and £300 for their respective pole positions as part of the Jack Cavill Pole Position Cup. The drivers with the most poles at the end of the year will claim a £2,000 prize.
The team of the driver with the most poles at the end of the season will also secure a £2,000 prize.
Prizes at each round are handed out by John Cavill, son of Jack, who has been a huge supporter of young drivers in MSV series since 2013.
