The 2016 Challenge Spanish Grand Prix - the Fourth round of the season - took place at the Circuit de Catalunya in Barcelona, Spain on the 5th of April.

Report

Background

The third round of the season, taking place at Sochi in Russia, saw Antonio Hreljanovic and James Johnson register their first wins of the season, making it five different drivers winning the first six races (Hreljanovic, Johnson, Geoffrey Fournier, Carlos Fernandez & Terence Grech) for five different teams. The standings saw Johnson and Fournier take to the front of the driver's championship, a point separating the two.

Qualifying

Dutch racer Stephane Rouault took pole position, his first of 2016 registering a time of 1:29.958 to finish nearly two tenths ahead of second placed Carlos Fernandez. Championship leader James Johnson took third place on the grid with Johan Lindberg and Jonathan Holmes rounding out the top five respectively. Rouault's pole position meant that four different drivers for four different teams have secured the fastest times in the four qualifying sessions we have had so far.
