The 45 minute main final then got tough and challenging for many drivers as the dusty track caused a lot of flame-outs and it was Jason Nugroho, coming from 5th position on the grid, who made the best out of the conditions by getting in front around the 30 minute mark and never looking back. The Xray driver was able to retain the lead to take the win in front of Adrian Wicaksono (Kyosho) and Chopin Yusuf (HongNor).
