While championship titles were clinched, there were disappointments for others after two demanding days of racing. The Toyota Gazoo Racing SA Vaal 400, the fifth and final round of a shortened season, consisted of a 14km Pirelli Qualifying Race early in the morning to determine the starting order for the main race. Teams had to complete a 168km loop twice.

Hot, dusty and windy conditions added to the nerve-wracking atmosphere. In the end, it was the newly crowned Production Vehicle Champions, Henk Lategan/Brett Cummings (Toyota Gazoo Racing Hilux) who claimed their fourth overall victory of the season and also walked away as the FIA Class winners. They finished in a total time of 3:17:57.
