No.50 Ferrari AF Corse Ferrari driver Antonio Fuoco took his second consecutive pole position after setting a 2m02.600s lap in hyperpole. Unfortunately shortly after the session Fuoco lost that pole position due to a decision from the stewards. They said, “After having checked the Technical Delegate report, the stewards considered the minimum car weight did not comply with the relevant regulations. Consequently, the Stewards decided to impose the disqualification of car 50 of the qualifying and hyperpole sessions and the deletion of the lap times of these sessions.”

The decisions came after it was determined that the No. 50 Ferrari did not meet minimum weight requirements. The decisions meant that the No. 05 Porsche Penske Porsche 963 would inherit pole. The No. 02 Cadillac Racing V-Series.R claimed its highest ever starting grid position in P2.
