The race began at 20:00 local time. The Spiiker drivers made good starts and led the race until lap 36, when [[West Borean Federation|West Borean]] rookie driver Kasran is'Vaara suffered his second mechanical failure of the season and stopped at turn 19, bringing out the safety car. The awkward positioning of the car relative to track exit points meant is'Vaara's car had to be lifted out of the course by a crane. Under the extended safety car conditions, drivers had to weave along the straights in order to keep temperature in their tyres and subsequently preserve grip. Shortly before the safety car was due to pull into the pit lane on lap 40, Watervalley's Czesława Pajor lost the rear end and hit the wall along the turn 6 straight. The United Malordian Grand Prix briefly trended on [[Pigeon]] after Pajor's race engineer's team radio was broadcasted on S1TV where he said "I think Christoffersen hit us!"; the Metropol driver was nowhere near the Watervalley car at the time, however his hydraulics system coincidentally failed three laps later and he pulled into the pits to retire the car, following the safety car which had led the race for a record nine consecutive laps.
 
On lap 56, [[Mirhaime|Mirhaimian]] driver Aedan Jaosar Lanfie was shown the blue flag as he was being lapped for the second time. He slowed down into turn 6, and pulled over to the middle of the track. However, Bernitti's Pedro Wilson had taken the inside line and got squeezed against the concrete barrier, spinning him out of the race. Accusations of match fixing were levied by Wilson fans, as this accident meant Lanfie's teammate inherited 10th place, scoring Tamradh Monsal's first point of the season. However, the UMF ruled that these were "unsubstantiated rumours".
 
Pablo Saez brought home Bernitti-Domio's second win in a row after overtaking the two duelling Spiiker drivers who had forced each other wide at Sheares Corner at the safety car restart, netting him joint 4th place in the [[2022 Series One World Championship|2022 championship]].
