However, it was an inauspicious start for the #46 crew after Nico Muller - who joins Rossi and Frederic Vervisch once more as its third driver for Endurance events - suffered a crash that prompted a red fla🦂g period and limited track ti🧔me.

With free practice preceding two 𓂃qualifying sessions later today - pre-qualifying in the afternoon and group qualifying held at dusk - Rossi, Vervisch and Muller were just a second♉ off the ultimate pace prior to Muller’s off with a 2min 18.675s, despite being classified at the lower end of the top twenty.

There w🎐as better news for their Team WRT stablemates, however, as Dries Vanthoor flew the Belgian flag with the quickest time of the session, the home hope stopping the clock at 2m 17.559s

Four different 💙manufacturers filled the ꦿtop four positions with the Herberth Porsche just 0.01✤7s off the top in second place, with the Winward Mercedes and Rowe BMW s꧋lotting into third and fourth.

The centrepiece of the 2022 Fanatec GT World Challenge Europe season, ꦿRossi will make his round-the-clock race debut this weeken꧅d as he looks to build on a solid st🦹art to his full-time four-wheel racing career in the GT World Challenge Europe.

Unlike other Endurance races on the schedule, the Spa 24 Hours awards points for positions held at the six and twelve-hour mark, before full 🐼points are awarded again at the chequered ♓flag.
