Fortec Motorsport’s Nikolas Taylor stormed to a double pole position in GB4 qualifying on the Brands Hatch Grand Prix circuit, and claimed the George Russell Pole Position Cup in the process.
Taylor constantly improved his times in the final half of the session, and his fastest time of 1m24.672s proved to be almost three tenths of a second clear of the pack.
Kevin Mills Racing's Jarrod Waberski was second, having topped the times for the first half of the 15-minute session, and half a second clear of his teammate Tom Mills in third.
Taylor's nearest championship contender Max Marzorati claimed fourth for Hillspeed, 0.379s away from Mills and less than a tenth clear of Elite's Jack Sherwood in fifth.
Logan Hannah was the lead Graham Brunton Racing contender in sixth, just 0.058s away from Sherwood, with Fortec's Jessica Edgar claiming seventh on the grid for race one.
Hannah's teammate Chloe Grant was eighth quickest, 0.092s away from Edgar and two tenths of a second clear of Hillspeed's Megan Gilkes, who had her first experience of the Grand Prix circuit since 2019 in qualifying, having missed pre-event testing.
On the second quickest times for the race two grid, Taylor claimed his eighth pole of the season to wrap up the George Russell Pole Position Cup, and will claim the £1,000 end of year prize at Donington Park.
The race two grid line-up will be exactly the same as in race one, subject to any penalties. The first race of the weekend is due to commence at 14.45.
