Nash inherits pole for second race

For the first time a Ford car will start from pole position in a WTCC race. It will happen later today, on the grid for the second race at Marrakech.

Team Aon’s James Nash who had qualified 11th yesterday, was promoted to 10th after Gabriele Tarquini had his lap times disallowed because his car was found underweight during the technical checks.

And because the reverse grid for the second race is based on the final result of Q2, Nash has also inherited pole position, while Tiago Monteiro will complete the front row.

As for Tarquini, the Stewards have revised their decision and decided to disallow only the lap times he set in Q2. This will result in the Italian driver taking the start from 12th position instead that from the back of the grid.
