His time on track was abbreviated by battery issues, as well as multiple red flags that interrupted the session. He ended up 32nd overall on the speed charts.
"I have no idea what you just said," he said with a smile." They're so noisy -- these things with no mufflers. I had a good time. Just getting used to it. Obviously didn't get the most out of the new tire but at the end, I felt that I was half-competitive. It's so different, like the way it turns into the corner and loads up. I got a lot to learn."In qualifying, Van Gisbergen ran a 23.834s on Lap 1, but bettered it by over three tenths to a 23.527s on Lap 2.
He later added:"I'm having a ball. Just learning so much every lap and hopefully we'll get some long runs in the race so I can get in a rhythm and just learn a lot tonight."
