Notes

1. Jia is a Chinese driver competing under an American license.
2. Al Dhaheri finished first but was demoted one position for leaving the track and gaining an advantage. Jonsson, therefore inherited the win.
3. Al Dhaheri finished first but received a 5 second time penalty for forcing another car off the track and another 5 second time penalty for crowding. Francot finished second but also received a 5 second time penalty for crowding. Daryanani, therefore inherited the win.
