In a really spectacular effort in the final minutes of the qualification, Toby Lock clocked 1.20.180 and gave to the English driver the third position for next race at Monza. At the end of the session, he was 0.912 behind pole man Consiglio. In his final effort, he stunned Loukasmäki and both EIRE cars by beating their fastest times and putting his JTM Ferrari on the second row, in front of the team's home crowd. Matt Maple has also a good session finishing in a good 7th place.

Lock said "I had said that I could not improve on my 1.20.305 earlier in the day. Well that comment came back to bite me on the arse! I am amazed that we beat so many people, and hopefully we can cause an upset in the race! We're not out there to make up the numbers, but we certainly won't intentionally try to ruin anybody's chances of winning the Championship".
