Qualifying sessions for Round 9 of the 2006 AUTOBACS SUPER GT, the FUJI GT300KM, took place at the Fuji Speedway (1 lap 4.563 km) in Shizuoka Prefecture on November 4. Loic Duval in the EPSON NSX captured the pole position (1st place in qualifying). He will start from the front row for the final race on the 5th.

This is the first season for the 24-year-old rookie Duval to race in SUPER GT. He put up an overwhelming time in the first qualifying session in the morning to take 1st place, and in the afternoon when the top 10 machines run super laps (single machines running time trials) he captured a GT first for himself and the team’s first pole position this season. During the early part of the super lap he made some slight errors, but in the latter part he made up for it and put up an excellent time of 1.33.668 that closed in on the course record (1.33.070).
