The race, scheduled to be run for 24 laps, was red-flagged during lap 13 due to adverse weather conditions on the track. The race was supposed to be restarted over the remaining 12 full laps with the grid based on the classification after lap 12. However, the race was again red-flagged during the warm-up lap of the second race, and race direction decided not to start the race again. Per regulations, full points were awarded since 50% or more of the original race distance (i.e. 12 full laps) were completed.[14]
