The No. 3 Wolf GB08 of former GP2 driver Javi Villa was the fastest car in the qualifying session, with the Spaniard lapping the 2.9-mile Portuguese circuit in 1:46.618.

Second fastest was Antonio Castro-entered Porsche 997 Cup car of Jose Manuel de los Milagros, who was almost four seconds slower than Villa in the Wolf.
