Vitaphone Racing is the champion for the 5th time

Vitaphone Racing Team is the champion!


Upsetting the odds in what was the most feared round of the season and one that promised little, the Vitaphone Racing Team bagged the Team title and now holds a four point lead in the Drivers' championship.

The fifth straight Team victory earns the German squad a rightful place in the history of this series. No other scuderia has ever managed a similar feat. The second spot won by Müller/Ramos and Bertolini/Bartels' fifth saw Vitaphone Racing make the title a mathematical certainty.

The Drivers' crown is still there for the taking as the reigning champions leave Paul Ricard holding a four point lead over Hezemans/Kumpen, who were forced to retire.
