The three previous race leaders all encountered mechanical problems. Marc-Antoine Camirand retired on lap 5 when his BMW Z3 endured a mechanical failure.

Sasha Anis (Hyundai Genesis) inherited the lead but also encountered problems and stopped on the track. The incident gave the lead to Nick Wittmer (Honda Civic). But Wittmer also stopped out on the race track with terminal problems!
