The Swiss star clocked a 2:01.8940s to pip the Pro-Am class Porsche 911 driven by Laurins Heinrich.
“It was a really good lap. The car feels great,” said Feller.
“We made some good work this weekend on the setup, I’m really, really happy.
“Let’s see what the Shootout brings but, from our side, this was kind of all.”
Four different manufacturers were represented in the top four with Sheldon van der Linde putting the #32 Team WRT BMW M4 third while Cameron Waters was fourth in the Scott Taylor Motorsports #222 Mercedes-AMG.
Maro Engel in the #888 Team GMR Mercedes-AMG was fifth ahead of fellow Silver Arrows driver Luca Stolz in the 75 Express #75 entry.
