Magnus's team had problems starting, which meant that Daniel's crew were waiting for the other car to fire up, unusual for an A/Fuel car. They were signalled to start anyway and Magnus was able to start immediately. Linn Engan Fløysvik NTR stage foul (FC) v Sandro Bellio 5.7393/359.52 (FC), good start for Sandro.
