Reigning Audi R8 LMS Cup champion Alex Yoong kept clean air between his Team Audi R8 LMS GT3 and an incident-filled Round Five to win on the 5.6km Korea International Circuit. Crossing the line more than five seconds behind him was OD Racing Team's Mitch Gilbert, who finished an impressive second from fifth on the grid carrying 20kg of success ballast, his fourth Cup podium in a row. Audi TEDA Racing Team's Shaun Thong stormed from third-last on the grid to finish third.

"Round Five proved to be one of the most electrifying of the season so far," commented Martin Kuehl, Director of Audi Sport customer racing Asia. "With a wet track in qualifying, team tyre strategy really mixed up the grid positions. Alex Yoong put his skills and experience to best effect today. Congratulations to all for putting on such an exciting display of motorsport."

Overall classification leader Alessio Picariello of MGT by Absolute missed out on a podium finish, despite closing up to Thong and piling on the pressure after starting from eighth on the grid and carrying 35kg of success ballast. His fourth place finish sees him increase his margin at the top of the leaderboard on 101 points. Gilbert moves up to second in the title chase (66 points), while Yoong's win sees him jump from seventh to third (62 points) ahead of FAW-VW Audi Racing Team's Cheng Congfu (59 points).
