Michelisz lands reverse-grid WTCR pole position for Race 2

Norbert Michelisz earned the partially reversed-grid pole position for Race 2 at WTCR Clean Fuels for All Race of France, despite requiring the left-front corner of his car to be heavily taped up just to finish the Q2 session on the streets of Circuit de Pau-Ville.
