Mcquarrie brushed the wall, beautifully, kept drift. Gushi had great smoke, but a little off the line. Hubinette, Rhys, and others took conservative first runs to get in. Haraguchi had AMAZING angle, but spun in the last hairpin. Robbie Nishida had a great first run, one of the best in unseeded. McNamara is sitting 19th, needs to improve. A lot of drivers are within 5 to 10 pts of qualifying, it is very tight! Full results shortly.
