FLASH RESULT: VITAPHONE CREW ARE FIA GT1 CHAMPIONS

Beating them was always going to be a long-shot going into the last round here at San Luis in Argentina, but the #1 Vitaphone Maserati pair of Andrea Bertolini and Michael Bartels did enough to secure the 2010 Drivers' Title with the Championship Race still to go. They didn't make things easy for themselves though: after crossing the line in fourth at the rolling start of the Qualifying Race they collided with a Reiter Lamborghini on the second lap and dropped right to the back. All depended on the opposition: but the only realistic challengers, Tomas Enge and Darren Turner in the #7 Young Driver Aston Martin, started back in 17th and had to finish on the podium at the least to stay in with a chance: they could only manage a 10th place finish, handing the title to Bartels and Bertolini.
