In the final, Hirosaka closely pursued Sasaki, who started in the lead, with the two cars running in tandem until the very end of the race.
The race dynamic changed in the final 30 seconds. Hirosaka made a move to pass Sasaki, but his car caught a pylon and flipped, causing him to fall back. Shortly after, Sasaki's car also flipped on its own. Kato, who took over the lead, finished in first place by a narrow margin of 0.2 seconds.
