Michael Rutter consigue la pole en el Gran Premio de Macao
Michael Rutter se ha hecho con la pole position en el Gran Premio de Macao. Previamente, el Circuito da Guia volvió a vivir la tragedia de la muerte de un piloto, en este caso el competidor de Hong Kong YAU Wing Choi, participante en la categoría de automovilismo CTM Macau Touring Car Cup.
Rutter, siete veces ganador de esta prueba, logró el mejor tiempo en una sesión que comenzó con mucho retraso y tuvo que ser interrumpida al comenzar a oscurecer.
Tras Rutter saldrá John McGuinness, quien completó una mejor vuelta solo dos décimas más lenta que la pole, y terminó por delante de Martin Jessopp, Gary Johnson y Connor Cummins.
