Bowie Ginting scores at Infinity Grand Prix Rd2

Round two of the Infinity Grand Prix was held at the Sunter International Speedway. In the shortened 30 minute main final Bowie Ginting instantly took the lead with Trin only 1.5 seconds behind him before the first round of fuel stops. Thanks to super fast pit work Trin was able to shorten the gap to under a second and due to the high tyre wear Bowie tried to manage the gap instead of pulling away. Around the 13 minute mark Trin made an error in the sweeper, resulting in a mechanical failure which promoted TQ holder Dimas into second place. Up from Bowie was able to cruise to the win some three laps in front of Dimas with Kenji Taira grabbing the final podium spot.
