Emirates Racing was now in the hunt for the final two hours and fifteen minutes of the season, chasing down the frontrunners, however, Lopes and Sheikh proved too difficult to catch. Emirates advanced up to P2, right up on the back bumpers of Bin Drai, but when we the chequered flag waved Duarte Lopes crossed the finish line just 0.609 seconds ahead of Emirates Racing to take the third win in a row for Bin Drai Karting Team and the 2019 Overall championship.
It was a more difficult task for the Masters category contender Wheels of Fury. The team qualified way down in 17th position and finished the race behind rivals Blueberry Racing, but Wheels of Fury collected enough points over three rounds to lock in the 2019 Masters title.
