The host team had to switch to its back up car mid way through the second heat due to a guide malfunction which de-slotted the car and caused it to crash under the bridge. The impact of the crash resulted in the loss of its rear wheel. Under yellow flag conditions the car was towed to the pit garage, where it was determined that the car had to be retired. The Porsche 917 long tail was replaced by a Porsche 907L .
