Speedcar Series Bahrain: Race 2 – Tonio wins!

Although Tonio couldn’t win this season’s championship anymore, he ended his first Speedcar Series season on the best possible way: with a win! After starting from the 5th position on the grid, the Force India test driver was on a charge, and after passing Al Maktoum on lap 8, he hunted down Biagi. After briefly getting ahead on lap 12 he finally made the move stick on lap 14, and thereafter he eased away to score his third win of the year, guaranteeing the teams’ title for his UP Team.

He said: “I had a clean and controlled race. I was trying to save the tyres, because yesterday we had a problem in the last 10 laps. I think we did the best we could do this weekend, with a first and a third. My target was to win the teams’ championship because with the bad luck we’ve had with the transmission we were unable to fight for the drivers’ championship.”

After today’s win, Tonio’s final championship position is 3rd, while his team finished 1st in the teams’ championship standings. Therefore, Liuzzi Fan Base would like to congratulate Tonio and his UP Team with their great performance this season, well done! Tonio’s next race will be his second A1GP race on 2 – 3 May at Britain’s Brands Hatch circuit, let’s hope he can fight for a victory again!
