In Race One, it was Cameron Rende who executed a perfect race to take victory ahead of Hudson Thompson and Harrison Watts. 

OJC is endorsed by Dorna Sports, the commercial rights holders of MotoGP™, and is aimed at developing young riders with on-track coaching and media training. The current group of OJC riders is coached by Garry McCoy, a five-time Grand Prix winner – including three in the premier class – during a spectacular career in the world championship paddock.

The endorsement by Dorna Sports provides opportunities for past and present OJC riders to be selected to compete in international competitions such as the Asia Talent Cup and Red Bull Rookies Cup. An impressive percentage of riders across MotoGP, Moto2 and Moto3 classes have developed their race craft through various Road to MotoGP programs, with every permanent rider in the Moto3 World Championship now having raced in a series on the Road to MotoGP. This includes current Moto3 rider Jacob Roulstone, who is in his debut season with the Red Bull Tech3 team and competed in the inaugural OJC season in 2019.
