Newcomer Chariya Nuya finished in fourth position and won the AM class in a Honda Civic run by the Billionaire Boy Racing.

Race 2 – Rattanin Leenutaphong (Yontrakit Racing Team SEAT León) and Nuya shared the front row on the reverse grid; however during the first lap van Dam, Ittiritpong and Lemvard managed to jump ahead of the field. Lemvard also managed to overtake Ittiritpong for second.
Just like in the first race, the leading trio pulled away, while Nuya, Leenutaphong and Nattachak Hanjitkasen (TBN MK Ihere Racing Honda Civic) were in a close fight for the fourth position and the leadership of the AM class.
