Enge on pole for Austrian Formula 3000

TOMAS ENGE took pole position for the Formula 3000 race at the A1-Ring beating off Coloni's Giorgio Pantano by just 0.018 seconds in his Arden International car. Coloni also took third place on the grid thanks to efforts of Enrico Toccacelo with Mario Haberfeld (Team Astromega), Bjorn Wirdheim (Arden), David Saelens (European Minardi) and local hero Patrick Friesacher (Red Bull Junior Team) ahead of a troubled Sebastian Bourdais, who has been the frontrunner to date in his Super Nova Racing entry.
