Pagenaud dominates final practice session at Zolder

By on

During the last free practice session of the Belgian Champ Car Grand Prix at Zolder, the British Katherine Legge immediately caused a red flag situation. The only woman in Champ Car lost her rear tyre. The Champ Car marshals came to aid and helped her car back to the pitlane.

The Frenchman Simon Pagenaud was fastest during the final free practice session of the Belgian Champ Car Grand Prix. The rookie was, with his time of 1:14:617, faster than Graham Rahal and Sebastien Bourdais.

The 'flying Dutchman', Robert Doornbos put down the 4th time and this in front of many Dutch fans who crossed the Belgian frontier to encourage their hero.

Home driver, Jan Heylen, was able to put down a great lap and this in front of his home crowd and friends and family. Heylen was 6th.

This afternoon at 14:00hrs, the well-known sentence: "Lady and Gentleman, Start your engine" will sound at the Circuit of Zolder for the first Belgian Champ Car Grand Prix.
