The No. 10 Forte Koup started in 12th position and Galati maneuvered his way into the top 10 in the early portion of the race before Jönsson took the wheel during a flawless pit stop with 90 minutes remaining in the 2.5-hour race.
 
With Jönsson behind the wheel, the No. 10 Koup quickly moved up the grid and into the top five, ultimately overtaking the leader with only 30 minutes remaining in the race.  Racing resumed after a late yellow caution flag, and Jönsson kept a comfortable distance between himself and the rest of the ST field as he guided the Forte Koup across the finish line.
