Bad luck continue to plague Porsche’s top customer teams in the ALMS as it did in both Long Beach and Sebring. Both Flying Lizard Motorsports and Team Falken Tire lead the race at various times during the day. However, even with updated aero Packages providing better performance neither team could hold the lead. Team Falken Tire’s Porsche 911 GT3 RSR suffered from tire wear and contact from other competitors late in the race knocking them out of podium contention with a seventh place finish. Also in the top three spots was the #45 Flying Lizard Motorsports Porsche 911 GT3 RSR of Joerg Bergmeister and Patrick Long. However, a stop-and-go penalty caused by an air-house contacting the rear wing of the FLying Lizard Porsche on the way out of the pits took the team out of position and into a sixth place finish.
