Walkinshaw was always smart and he wasn't going to let anyone beat his factory driver !

The first practice session was held in damp conditions and Warwick soon set the benchmark time, before coming back into the pits to see if anyone else could get near it. As the track dried out, Armin Hahne went quicker, so Warwick leapt back into his XJR-15. With time for only a single flying lap, he reclaimed pole position in 1 minute 47.8 seconds—a full 1.6 seconds clear of Hahne.
