After just under twelve minutes of the half-hour session, the ex-Formula 1 test driver had set a lap time in the Huracán GT3 that he shares with Rolf Ineichen of 1:30.767 minutes which stood for the remainder of the session. 35-year-old Perera is now the fourth different driver to have qualified on pole in the fourth ADAC GT Masters race of the year. This is also his maiden pole position in the Super Sports Car League.

"A great result for the team and for me too," said Perera. "Rolf and I tried a few things during the race yesterday that worked out well and improved the car. The goal was to qualify as far forward as possible, because it always gets tight in the first corner. We're now really looking forward to the race."

Second place went to 25-year-old Corvette driver, Marvin Kirchhöfer. He had posted best time on several occasions but spun on two of his flying laps. He clocked a 1:30.832 minutes on his third and fastest lap which was enough to put him and partner Markus Pommer on the front row. "I pushed as hard as I could, because we had nothing to lose after failing to score yesterday," said Kirchhöfer. "I tried to get the maximum out of the car and was a bit over the limit. Still, second place is definitely fine by me. We're in a good position for the start of the race. Let's see if we can defend it!"

The Land Audi driven by Dries Vanthoor and Ricardo Feller (1:30.890 minutes) will share the second row with RWT's Corvette and drivers, Sven Barth and David Jahn (1:30.927 minutes). Thomas Preining and defending champion Robert Renauer in the Herberth 911 qualified fifth in the best-placed Porsche with a hot time of 1:31.083 minutes. The MRS-BMW M6 GT3 of Nicolai Sylvest/Jens Klingmann was sixth. The two HTP-Mercedes-AMGs with Philip Ellis/Fabian Vettel and Indy Dontje/Maximilian Götz posted the same time, so as a result, cars from six different brands will occupy the top seven positions on the grid.
