17-year-old Larry ten Voorde was fastest in the Formula Renault 1.6 NEC qualifying session at Zolder after a closely fought battle with Anton De Pasquale, Florian Janits and Janneau Esmeijer.
The Dutch driver, who switched from Pirosports to MB Motorsport ahead of this round, took pole position for both races, which will be held on Saturday.
Janits, who topped the practice sessions earlier today, took second overall after a last-minute lap, demoting his teammate De Pasquale to third.
Esmeijer and Ralf Aron, who sit second and third in the standings, secured fourth and fifth respectively, closely followed by Lechner duo Max Defourny and Ferdinand Habsburg.
The top ten was completed by Marcel Lenerz, Paul Sieljes and Nico Otto.
The starting grid for the second race was determined by the second-best times in the qualifying, with ten Voorde granted another pole.
De Pasquale and Janits will switch positions behind the polesitter for race two, as will Aron and Esmeijer.
Defourny will again start sixth as Lenerz, Sieljes, Otto and Oliver Soderstrom take the rest of the places in the top ten.
