Clio Cup Bohemia: Tomáš Pekař Claims Pole Position for Hungaroring Season Finale
Defending champion Tomáš Pekař took his fourth pole position of the Clio Cup Bohemia season during qualifying at the Hungaroring, heading an entry packed with Polish frontrunners.
Reigning champion Tomáš Pekař secured pole position for the opening race of the Clio Cup Bohemia season finale at the Hungaroring. Marking his fourth top qualifying result of the season, the Czech driver set the pace early in the session by dipping below the 2:06 threshold on his initial timed lap.
Pekař subsequently improved his benchmark twice, ultimately locking in pole position with a session-best lap of 2:05.078.
Rafał Paprota earned second on the grid as the fastest Polish competitor, edging out Matic Preša and teammate Alan Kluza. Oskar Marszałkowski showed improved qualifying form to take fifth place, securing his first top-five grid spot since the round at Grobnik.
Julian Śmiechowski, winner of the previous race, followed closely behind Marszałkowski after having his fastest lap deleted due to track limits. The remainder of the top ten featured Filip Dziwok, Dawid Babraj, and Paweł Wysmyk.
The first Clio Cup Bohemia race of the weekend at the Hungaroring is scheduled for Saturday at 10:43.
