Another four thousandths behind the leading pair the Team Modena Lamborghini Gallardo of Adam Jones and Matt Owen heads up row two, with the Mosler MT900 of Kevin Riley and Ian Flux in 4th after the car suffered a low voltage battery problem for the entire session. The Aston Martin DBRS9 of Jonny Cocker and Paul Drayson and the Damax Ascari KZ1R of Tommy Erdos and Steve Keating are on Row 3 just ahead of the Tech 9 Porsche of Matt Harris and Tom Ferrier and the Eclipse Mosler of Craig and Elliott Cole.

The number 2 Aston Martin of Michael Bentwood and Tom Alexander and the Team Berlanga Ascari of Erik Zwart and Michael Greenhalgh round out the top 10 for Round 8.

The RSS Performance Porsche 996 of Graeme Mundy and Jamie Smyth claimed the

GTC class pole after the Team Aero Morgan of Steve Hyde and Keith Ahlers failed to appear due to the team deciding to change the V8 engine after problems in free practice.

Round 8 of the 2007 Avon Tyres British GT Championship is due to get underway at 11:45 and lasts two hours.
