The race is being held in downtown Detroit, around the Renaissance Centre, which houses the global HQ of General Motors’, Cadillac’s parent company. Albuquerque started the #10 WTR Andretti Acura ARX-06 from fourth, moving up to second as the green flag waved, with Dane Cameron in the #7 Porsche slipping down to fourth from second on the grid. Albuquerque also overtook Sebastien Bourdais in the #01 Cadillac V-Series.R, who was now third, with polesitter Nick Tandy, in the #6 Porsche, still leading. However, almost immediately there was a full course yellow as Harry Tincknell, in the #65 Ford Mustang GT3, stopped on track, requiring assistance and a tow rope to be moved off the racing surface. When the race went green again, Tandy retained the lead and then began to extend a gap, but disaster struck when he inadvertently collided with Daniel Serra in the #35 Conquest Ferrari, relegating Tandy to sixth and promoting Albuquerque to the lead. The race’s second FCY occurred as Connor de Phillippi hit the wall, putting his BMW out of the race, and eventually, the race went green with 47 minutes remaining.
