The Method Motorsport McLaren Artura duo came away from the two short, sharp sessions at the SRO Shannons SpeedSeries second and first respectively for the one-hour race later today.
“That is only my second pole, Tom said to me you only have one lap to go for it, and I did,” Geoghegan said after his 1:33.6546.
In Q1 at Sydney Motorsport Park, it was Jarrod Hughes fastest after he posted a 1:33.0513 in the Mercedes-AMG he shares with Summer Rintoule, which was half a second faster than anyone.
“It is what we should have done at [the previous round] Phillip Island, the car is fast,” he said.
Hughes also topped Silver ahead of Hayman in that session. Aaron Seton was third in the Ford Mustang he codrives with Jason Gomersall and was best of the Silver Am teams in front of Lachlan Mineeff (in a Ginetta G55 with Rob Rubis) who was second in the class.
Silvers were next in Blake Purdie (Audi R8 with Dan Price), and Rylan Gray (Mustang with George Miedecke) while Zac Soutar (McLaren with Glenn Nirwan) was seventh and third in Silver Am.
