Frikadelli Racing won its second pole position this year for the eighth round of the VLN Nürburgring Endurance Series (NLS) season. After a 90-minute fog delay, Julien Andlauer went out to set a time of 7m53.542s which stood until the chequered flag of qualifying. The Frenchman shares the #30 Frikadelli Racing Porsche 991.2 GT3R with Klaus Abbelen, earning the Pro-Am duo the pole in their sub-class as well.
