The car, which Davison shared with Tim Leahy and Beric Lynton, was hit with a restart infringement in the first half of the race. The drive-through penalty was served within three laps as per the rules. However, was later rescinded following a request for review from the team.

The first half of the race was a stop-start affair with constant intervention from the safety car. The cautions started after just 15 minutes, initially when the #3 ended up stuck in the sand at Hell Corner, with another following before the first hour was done with the #4 Astra stranded at the Elbow. Two noteworthy cars prompted the next stoppage with #92 BMW M2, which led early after the team elected to start its Pro driver Thomas Randle, going into limp home mode.

The #21 Ford Mustang of Zak Best, Brianna Wilson and Chris Delfina qualified seventh outright, and first in Class A2, only to face a rear-of-grid start due to an alleged technical breach relating to the differential.

There were two seperate crashes that drew lengthy red flags in the 40-minute session which would ultimately mean nobody got to set a time. The first stoppage came after Shayne Nowickyj clipped the wall at Griffins Bend in the #142 Class D Honda Integra. The session briefly went green with 25 minutes left to run, only for Michael Auld (#24 Class X BMW M4) and Brett Osborn (#2 Class D BMW 125i) to make heavy contact on Mountain Straight.
