Cluzel looked set to win after
disposing of the fast starting pole
man, and his teammate, Corentin
Perolari (who would finish fourth),
and he kept up the outward and
backward pressure to another
Fast Frenchman, Lucas Mahias
(Kawasaki Puccetti Racing).
Mahias would be second, but
is not stuck in a final fourth place
overall. He took a new lap record
of 1:42.606 as a consolation
prize.
Third place, after finishing sec-
ond in the previous round, was
Isaac Vinales (Kallio Racing) who
was just over a second behind
Mahias, and 3.4 seconds back
from the winner.
Perolari headed up fifth-placed
Caricasulo, who drew himself to
within eight points of Krumme-
nacher, after starting ten points
down.
In the championship stand-
ings, with one floodlit race to
go in Qatar, "Krummi" has 202
points, Caricasulo 194, Cluzel
180 and Mahias 143.
