The intense shoot-out during the 8 Hours of Bahrain saw drivers pushing the limits while maintaining control of their pace and temperatures. Managing track restrictions at Bahrain International Circuit added pressure as drivers aimed for top spots in the sessions. United Autosports drivers dominated both Q1 and Q2, with Caygill narrowly edging out his teammate to claim pole position in preparation for the upcoming race scheduled for tomorrow.
