Victors for the GT500 class and the GT 300 class were the No. 8 ARTA BMW M6 GT3 (Tomoki Nojiri/Takashi Kobayashi) and the No.55 ARTA BMW M6 GT3 (Shinichi Takagi/Sean Walkinshaw), respectively, with the AUTOBACS RACING TEAM AGURI accomplishing pole-to-wins in both classes, a major feat.

With 33,500 spectators attendant at the Fuji Speedway under fair weather despite cloud cover, the race for Round 5 started at 15:32 pm. Tomoki Nojiri of the No.8 ARTA NSX-GT took off to a good start from the pole position, the gap between second place No.23 MOTUL AUTECH GT-R (Ronnie Quintarelli) widening rapidly. Meanwhile, faring well was the No.38 ZENT CERUMO LC500 (Yuji Tachikawa), starting at sixth place and the winner of Round 2, Fuji, making multiple overtakes to pursue the two leading cars from third place.

Most of the cars in the lead for the GT500 class began making their routine pit stops after finishing lap 24. In the lead was the No.8 ARTA NSX-GT (Takashi Kobayashi), swiftly moving in and out of the pit, with the No.23 MOTUL AUTECH GT-R (Tsugio Matsuda) following at a ten second gap, then the No.38 ZENT CERUMO LC500 (Hiroaki Ishiura). Toward the end of the race, the No.8 ARTA NSX-GT began showing signs of slowing down, bringing down the gap with the second and third place cars, the No.23 MOTUL AUTECH GT-R and the No.38 ZENT CERUMO LC500, to at one point a minimum of three seconds. Despite this, driver Kobayashi pulled through for the victory, taking the race with a 1.530 second lead. The pole-to-win marks the first season victory for ARTA; additionally, this was a first GT500 class win for both Tomoki Nojiri and Takashi Kobayashi, and a first win for the Honda NSX-GT as well. The race marks an end to the four-round winning streak established by the LEXUS LC500 since the beginning of the season.

Competing for second place were the No.23 MOTUL AUTECH GT-R and the No.38 ZENT CERUMO LC500, with the two cars going nose-to-taile throughout the race, the No.23 MOTUL AUTECH GT-R ultimately managing to hold down their lead. The No.38 ZENT CERUMO LC500 finished third, and the podium was shared by Honda, Nissan and Lexus teams.

In the GT300 class the No.55 ARTA BMW M6 GT3 (Shinichi Takagi), starting at pole position, was able to carve out for itself a large margin. It was after stopping at the pit that the No.31 TOYOTA PRIUS apr GT (Koki Saga/Rintaro Kubo), adopting a no tire change strategy, and the GOODSMILE HATSUNE MIKU AMG (Nobuteru Taniguchi/Tatsuya Kataoka), which made good time on their tire change, began catching up. However, Sean Walkinshaw, SUPER GT rookie, gave a great performance by marking the fastest lap, and took the No.55 ARTA BMW M6 GT3 to the victory. Victors for both the GT500 and GT300
