NAPA Racing UK's Dan Cammish led the way during Free Practice at Snetterton as the multiple race winner looks to get his title challenge back on track in Norfolk this weekend.
After a similarly tricky start to his 2025 campaign, Cammish went on to score pole position and a race one win around the 2.97-mile Snetterton 300 layout, and the Yorkshireman will be hoping for a similar return this time around.
Championship leader Ash Sutton held second for much of the session before he was relegated down the order to sixth late on by the Team VERTU pairing of Tom Ingram and Tom Chilton, as well as the PMR-run Audi of Dexter Patterson and Cataclean Plato Racing's Dan Rowbottom.
Restart Racing's Chris Smiley and James Dorlin were also inside the top ten with the Scottish duo of Gordon Shedden (Laser Tools Racing with MB Motorsport) and Aiden Moffat (LKQ Euro Car Parts with Power Maxed Racing) wedged between them on the timesheets.
The session was extended to one hour by the organisers ahead of the weekend with teams being given an extra 20 minutes to familiarise themselves with a change over in brake pad material. There was one brief stoppage during the session when debris needed to be removed from the track.
After Free Practice, the finishing order is split into two groups, odd-finishing-numbers (Group 1) and even-finishing-numbers (Group 2), for a 15-minute qualifying session to set their fastest times. The group with the fastest qualifying time will occupy the odd-numbered grid positions for the Qualifying Race, ordered by their respective qualifying times. The other group will occupy the even-numbered grid positions, also ordered by qualifying times.
15 minutes after the qualifying session for Group 2 has concluded, the standard grid procedure for a race start begins, and the pit lane opens. The finishing order of the shorter 8-lap ‘Race to Pole’ will determine the grid for the first of Sunday’s traditional trio of races.
Half-points are awarded for the Qualifying Race. There are no bonus points for leading a lap, the fastest lap, or for pole position for the Qualifying Race, whereas the bonus points for leading a lap and the fastest lap are still available on Sunday. Making 76 the highest score across a race weekend, more than the 67 of recent years.
Qualifying and the Qualifying Race can be found LIVE on the ITV Sport YouTube Channel worldwide for the very first time from 13:50 later today. You won't want to miss it!
