To end a championship race under a safety car is just sad. If a gentleman driver is incapable of running in the rain, than park your car and let the big boys race.

The fans lose out, the drivers lose out, the sponsors lose out. But Audi wins the title, so that is a victory for the SRO as well. And that is all that matters to them. I wouldn't blame VDS if he pulls the cars out of the series and focuses on WEC and bikes from here on.

They just need red flag the race and resume later on. Killing time under yellow for an hour at Monza, several hours at Spa, and what, 30-40 minutes here is just unacceptable.

such a pity the way weather interfered with the championship sometimes, especially right at the end, but it was a great season in general, BES once again showing you don't need all these stupid, artifical rules to manufacture genuine drama in sportscar racing - I wish the guys at GrandAm and several other series around would take note.

Such a shame for Marc VdS, they really deserved the title and to watch that unfold at the end would have been sensational, but not to be and I hope they'll be back in some form or another in GTs.

I fear 2013 will see an exodus from this series, with teams concentrating on national championships rather than this, but was a very memorable year and hope there's as many people wanting to do it again next year.

Full stands, for anyone questioning why the BES and GT1 went to spain. Some countries do their business, others no, it's true dissapointing with Ferrari in F1 helps the growth of GT racing, but the full weekend race entrance was 12€ which helps.

Can someone remind why Ratel loves Navarra so much? Is it a shampoo industry hotbed or exporter of money trees?

Well, the FC Barcelona stadium is 100K, so i consider 33K enough people on track for motorsports to be a respectfull event, TV matter apart. The target if U go to navarra is 1K, isn't it?? So target achieved.

Audi won at GT1? Vita4One which has won many times on past won? All inkl is SRO's Sponsor? (Maybe hexis, and i complained about that)

Audi won because the third car, because both VDS finished before the second audi (If we eliminate the third car entered for this round) BMW could had entered one. In terms of drivers champ you may be right.

Nice bulls running on the streets on the SanFermines.. And acording to stands view, enhances the reputation of racing events there, cause +12K€ is the small contribution of the tickets there.

I don't think they are too worried about ticket revenue, Magny Cours had free admission last year. Would not be surprised if there have been other free rounds since.

Hmmm a Belgian team loses the championship when their main rivals enter three cars for the deciding race of the season and appeal the results of the race...

Dejavu?

BMW should've beaten Audi at their own game and entered both Schubert cars full of works drivers.

Regarding the LONG safety car period? I have been told BOTH Marc VDS drivers described the conditions as 'tricky'. Read that as you will.
I believe there is clear video evidence to back up the appeal against the result, btw.

So what was the alleged pitstop infringement?
