The competition attracted 48 participants and only 32 participants met the rigorous qualifications set by the organizers to compete.

With the support from the Vietnam Motorsports Association, the Redline Motorsports Club has brought experiences in racing with elements that meet international racing standards set by the FIA World Automobile Federation.
The success of the race is contributed by the meticulous preparation from the organizers, including the design of the race track to demonstrate speed and skills, the detailed technical dissemination, and the provision of accurate electronic timing systems. Besides, the referees also have considerable experience in meeting international FIA standards.
With the drivers complying with the regulations of the organizers, Redline Auto Gymkhana Cup Round 2 has brought exciting, spectacular, and intense races to the audience.
