Indonesia dominated UB150 qualifying, with Dimas Juli Atmoko taking pole ahead of Husni Zainul Fuadzy, and John Emerson Inguito of the Philippines qualifying third. Inguito then reversed that order in Race 1, taking the win over Rendi Odding and Atmoko. Race 2 saw M. Syirat Sauki claim the top step for Indonesia, with Odding backing up a second consecutive podium in second and Fuadzy rounding out third.

TVS Racing International Championship

The TVS Racing International Championship brought a wide international field to Motegi. Qualifying was split across two sessions, with Pedrinho Matos of Portugal topping 1A ahead of Md Naqib Rifqi of Malaysia and Jean Kento Turner of Japan. In 1B, Vicente Perez Selfa of Spain took top spot, with Matos again classified second and Jhon A Lopez C of Colombia third. Race 1 produced the weekend's most notable upset, with India's Chiranth Vishwanath taking the win ahead of Selfa and Mohd Ramdan Rosli of Malaysia. Selfa responded in Race 2 with a dominant performance, taking the win over Matos and South Africa's Oratilwe Phiri.

Motegi delivered clean, decisive results across all five classes, with Syahrin's ASB1000 sweep and Ono's back-to-back AP250 victories standing as the weekend's headline statements. The championship heads into its mid-season phase with several class battles tightening.
