Palmer takes maiden pole at Thruxton

Will Palmer claimed his first pole position in the Ginetta Junior Championship at Thruxton today (Saturday).

Rounds five and six of the championship got off to a great start for Will, who topped the damp practice session just ahead of teammate Harry Woodhead.

With confidence high heading into qualifying, Palmer was first out on track and initially set the pace in the opening stages. Woodhead however soon responded by going fastest by two tenths.

Will then went even faster by two tenths from Woodhead with only minutes to go, and although Woodhead was able to improve on his last lap, it was Palmer who ended up on pole and who will start race one from first position.

Woodhead's late improvement did mean that Will was demoted to second for race two, but with the front pair clear of the rest of the field, Palmer will be hoping for his first win in the series.


Race one gets underway at 10:40 tomorrow, and race two will start at 15:50 and will be broadcast live on ITV4.
