The event featured eight race heats in which the best six results count and were used to determine the winner. After each heat race the drivers were awarded with points depending on how they finished in that race. 1st place receives 1 point, 2nd place receives 2 points, and 3rd place receives 3 points and so on.
After all the racing heats it was the Japanese Hot-Bodies racer, and former World Champion, Atsushi Hara who took the win with five heat wins. "Master" Masami Hirosaka finished second with his brand new Yokomo Prototype. Here are the full standings of the race:
