Depuis la première course de la saison, à Monza, Giedo Van der Garde n'avait plus signé de pole position. Sur le circuit du Nürburgring, le leader de la Formula Renault 3.5 Series renoue avec la position de pointe. Il devance, lors de la SuperPole, Salvador Duran (Interwetten.com racing) et Alvaro Barba (Prema Powerteam).
Groupe B
Julien Jousse (Tech 1 Racing) lance l'assaut. Il prend les commandes dès son premier tour rapide en 1'45''937, suivi par Mikhail Aleshin (Carlin Motorsport) et Charles Pic (Tech 1 Racing). Lors de sa deuxième tentative, Jousse conforte ensuite sa première position en améliorant, 1'44'457.
En effectuant le deuxième temps, Mikhail Aleshin lance la deuxième vague. Son équipier, Robert Wickens, l'imite et passe 3e. Julien Jousse en profite également et améliore son leadership avec un tour bouclé en 1'44''298. Mais, comme souvent, tout s'anime en fin de séance. Marco Barba (International Draco), jusqu'alors en dehors du top 6, se hisse à la deuxième place. Aleix Alcaraz (Pons Racing) s'invite lui aussi en SuperPole sur le fil en terminant 6e, reléguant Robert Wickens à la 7e position.
Groupe A
Les pilotes Prema Powerteam se mettent en évidence dans la première partie de séance. Miguel Molina s'adjuge le meilleur chrono en 1'44''592 devant son équipier Alvaro Barba, Marco Bonanomi (Red Devil Team Comtec), Esteban Guerrieri (Ultimate Signature) et Bertrand Baguette (International Draco Racing).
À quatre minutes de la fin de séance, alors que les pilotes repartent en pneus neufs, la session est interrompue lorsque Pippa Mann (P1 Motorsport) immobilise sa monoplace suite à problème d'alternateur. Les dernières minutes s'avèrent décisives. Giedo Van der Garde se hisse en deuxième position tandis que Fabio Carbone (Ultimate Signature) et Fairuz Fauzy (Fortec Motorsport) se qualifient pour la SuperPole au détriment de Guerrieri et Baguette.
SuperPole
Julien Jousse ne tarde pas à s'installer en pole position provisoire en 1'45''315 devant Fairuz Fauzy. Cependant, Giedo Van der Garde mène la charge et se hisse à son tour en haut de la feuille de temps avec un tour bouclé en 1'44''841. Il rentre ensuite aux stands.
Marco Bonanomi se faufile entre Van der Garde et Jousse avant d'effectuer un tête-à-queue sans grande conséquence. Deuxième, l'Italien passe quatrième lorsque Salvador Duran puis Miguel Molina améliorent.
Le dernier rebondissement survient en fin de séance quand Alvaro Barba s'immisce en troisième position.
Giedo Van der Garde : « Lors de ma première séance, je n'ai pas trouvé de grip avec mon premier train de pneumatiques. C'était mieux avec le second, mais je ne savais pas trop ce que cela pouvait donner pour la SuperPole. Cela a fonctionné, c'est quatre points de plus, c'est parfait ! Il faudra être prudent dans la première course et gagner la deuxième.»
Salvador Duran : « Je suis heureux pour mes mécaniciens et mon team. On a rectifié la barre. En Hongrie, cela n'allait pas du tout. C'est très encourageant et j'espère gagner de nouveau car j'ai besoin de gros points pour revenir au classement ! »
