Any reasons stated why they couldn't finish the race with the 370?

Probably over-heated the oil.

LOL!

Well, they did finish the race, they raced for just over 24 hours, which means they didn't give up. They probably spent some time in the garage, though, fixing something, and that's what I am trying to find out. It is not uncommon in long endurance races like this to spend some hours in the garage fixing breakages that you wouldn't even think about fixing in shorter races, so perhaps they had some major damage, fixed it, and kept on going.

I'll update if I find out.
