It was a perfect start to the day for Van Amersfoort Racing on home soil, as Pedro Clerot delivered a standout performance to secure his first-ever pole position in the Formula Regional European Championship by Alpine. The Brazilian driver mastered the evolving track conditions at Zandvoort, where the session began on a damp surface due to earlier rainfall and gradually transitioned to slick tyres as the circuit dried.
