With the points added from the previous three races, Garland had pole for the final double-points outing at Round 2. He led from the outset as Brandon Madden slotted into second, ahead of Harvey for the first five laps.
Once into second Harvey pressured Garland for the rest of the race. It looked likely Garland would hold on for victory. However, on the last lap, Harvey came out of Turn 7 and used the side draft to pinch a very narrow win.
Just behind them Reece Chapman who started 10th had charged to fifth where he was able to challenge Joel Heinrich who he passed with a lap to go. On the last he was able to get the run on Maddon and edge him out of third by 0.05s.
Sixth place went to Caleb Paterson, and then came Jack Boyd, Scott Dornan, Kent Quinn, Andrew Corish, Joe Andriske, Ryan Reynolds and Asher Johnston.
At the start of the day was Race 3 where the top 12 from Race 2 were reversed. Garland was able to storm through from the sixth row to win ahead of Harvey, Heinrich, Madden, Paterson, Chapman, Corish, Boyd and Cody Mckay.
