Chip Ganassi Racing’s Bourdais and van der Zande took a ‘no tyres’ pit strategy to get ahead of the sister Action Express-run Cadillac V-Series.R of Pipo Derani and Jack Aitken to score a 1-2 finish for the marque around the 1.968-mile temporary circuit.
From pole position, despite crashing in the closing moments of qualifying, Derani led the field to green. He led the sister Cadillac Racing entry of Bourdais, who passed the other front row qualifier Nick Yelloly (#25 RLL BMW M Hybrid) on the run to the opening corner.
