In the Nissan GTP class, Laust Olsen dominated the event at the Phillip Island Circuit. Starting from pole position, Olsen maintained his lead throughout the duration of the 32-lap race, leading every lap to secure the victory. Josefine Becker, who started in second place, maintained her position throughout the race to finish in P2, completing all 32 laps with zero incidents. Brendan Lim rounded out the podium in P3, having started in that same position, though his race was complicated by four recorded incidents. The Audi 90 GTO class saw a significant shift in the standings as the race progressed. Shady Ahmad, who battled near the front of the pack for approximately 14 laps, appeared to be a primary contender for the win while running in the P1 position. However, Ahmad’s race ended in disappointment when he crashed out of contention; he eventually finished in P4 with four recorded incidents. Following Ahmad’s exit, Joram Vanhixe capitalized on the opportunity, surging through the field from a P12 start to claim the victory after 29 laps. Audrius Valantiejus also demonstrated strong pace, gaining nine positions from his P11 start to finish in second place.

Both Vanhixe and Valantiejus recorded eight incidents during the race, while Khoury recorded seven. Elsewhere in the Audi 90 GTO field, Emilio Dicharri delivered a notable performance by gaining five positions throughout the event, although his race was hampered by 12 incidents.
