Bimba Sjöholm took a stunning pole position in Kaunus, Lithuania today and became the fist lady driver to ever start a UIM F2 World Championship from the front.

A man who has won three world championships in the class, Colin Jelf, took an impressive second in Q3.

Sami Seliö was third fastest in his return to F2 racing.

I’m surprised!

I didn’t think that it would be good enough.

It was good enough for a place in the history books.
