Qualifying

In qualifying for the PC category, a crash by Mike Gausch forced the session to be stopped. Due to not completing a minimum of ten minutes, the qualifying results for PC were nullified and the grid order was set by championship points. As a result of PC cars requiring a separate grid order, the final race grid was altered so that cars in the same category were grouped together, even if outqualified by a car from another class.[6]
