After 30 minutes of qualifying, the pair secured tenth spot on the grid for the 40-minute race.
The changing weather meant there was a lot of technical talks between the team prior to the race.
Daniel took the opening stint in dry conditions.
He made a flying start, climbing from tenth to fifth by the first corner. Despite a trail of oil running down the Avenue towards Cascades, he managed to lap some six seconds quicker than his qualifying pace.
