Brendon Hartley secured pole position for tomorrow’s FIA WEC season finale in Bahrain with a time of 1m46.714s in the Hypercar Hyperpole session, leading Toyota Gazoo Racing to a front-row lockout. His No. 8 GR010 HYBRID outpaced the sister No. 7 car driven by Nyck de Vries, who claimed the second spot on the grid. Hartley credited his teammates for trusting him in qualifying and mentioned the improvements made to the car. Despite strong competition, the No. 51 AF Corse Ferrari and the No. 99 Proton Competition Porsche will start on the second row. Several key cars, including the Cadillac Racing V-Series.R and both Alpine A424s, missed out on the top-10 shootout, showing the competitiveness of the field.
