Formula Renault 1.6 NEC Junior championship leader Anton De Pasquale led a Lechner Racing School 1-2-3 in qualifying for the season finale at Zandvoort.

The Aussie led most of the session and ended up six tenths clear of nearest rival Ferdinand Habsburg.

Their squadmates Florian Janits and Max Defourny took spots on the second and third row, split by returning series champion Roy Geerts, with only five drivers ending up within a second of pole.

Boris Kolff secured sixth, while Paul Sieljes, Ralf Aron, Nico Otto and Oliver Soderstrom made up the rest of the top ten.

De Pasquale will also start the second race of the weekend from pole, with the remaining spots in the top four going to his teammates Habsburg, Janits and Defourny.
