The battle at the top was close after Bolisetti lapped in a 2m27.305s followed by Reddy clocking 2m27.355s as the top two were separated by a mere 0.050s.

Championship contenders Karminder Singh and Ishaan Dodhiwala lined up third and fourth for the first race of the final weekend.

Guest driver Advait Deodhar was impressive in his first outing finishing fifth, as the top five were within a second of the pole sitter's time.

In foggy weather conditions, the drivers faced with a new challenge of visibility and fortunately, there were no incidents.

Raghav Sharma was sixth ahead of another guest driver Dhruv Behl at seventh and Rithvik Thomas at eighth.

Along with the two Indian guest drivers, the Volkswagen family had two Chinese Polo Cup drivers competing for the first time as well.

Zhang Quan Shang was the fastest of the two finishing ninth while Yang Shuo was 12th. Prabhanjan Paruchuri completed the top 10.

The sister duo of Ria Dabas and Neha Dabas were 17th and 19th.
