Following the postponed race early August due to the rain, the RCI Touring Open resumed on August 21, 2010. Rain once again hit the track in the afternoon but the rain finally stopped at about 3pm. P.Y.Tang who was holding the TQ position from the postponed race for the modified class after one round of qualifying would see his effort wasted as the race resumed with a fresh start for all drivers. It was a totally different story in the modified class as newcomer E.C.Wee took the TQ spot with P.Y.Tang settling for 2nd from the pole unable to get a clean run in the qualifying rounds due to some bad traffic.

In the finals for modified class, it would seemed like a 2-car affair between E.C.Wee and P.Y.Tang. Final A1 started off slow for E.C.Wee followed closely by P.Y.Tang and Joe Hwee. While P.Y.Tang was trying to stay behind E.C.Wee as close as possible, an unexpected contact by Joe Hwee from behind caused P.Y.Tang to spin out and created some major accident while trying to recover. P.Y.Tang retired from a damaged car while E.C.Wee cruised for the win for Final A1. Final A2 was a much better show when the two front car of E.C. and P.Y. battled out from start to finish neck to neck, with E.C. claiming the win and the overall 1st. P.Y.Tang would settle for overall 2nd followed by a win in the Final A3.
