The car stopped on the start/finish straight after crossing the line, leading to disqualification. The team was found guilty of breaching regulations related to technical issues with the car’s electric system. This incident prevented the car from making it to parc ferme, resulting in the stewards’ decision to disqualify it.

The disqualification promoted the Proton Porsche to a final-points paying position in 10th place.
