6 ur Spaja: Alonso skozi sneg in dež popeljal Toyoto do zmage in naslova svetovnega prvaka
Fernando Alonso je skupaj s Sebastienom Buemijem in Kazukijem Nakajimo Toyoto popeljal do zmage na klasični dirki za 6 ur Spa Francorchampsa in tako osvojil naslov svetovnega prvaka serije WEC.
Dirkače serije WEC je na legendarnem dirkališču v belgijskih Ardenih pričakalo kaotično vreme, saj so dirkači v spremenljivih razmerah dirkali tako po snegu in dežju, kot po lepem sončnem vremenu.
Dirko je sicer s pole positiona pričela druga ekipa Toyote v zasedbi Kamui Kobayashi, Jose Maria Lopez in Mike Conway, a je dirkalnik številka 7 izgubil 11 minut zaradi okvare hibridnega sistema.
Smolo sestrske ekipe je tako izkoristila trojica Alonso, Buemi in Kobayashi, ki so z zanesljivo zmago tudi uradno potrdili naslov svetovnega prvaka.
Alonso je tako dvema naslovoma svetovnega prvaka v Formuli 1 in zmagam na dirkah v Le Mansu, Daytoni in Sebringu, dodal še naslov prvaka WEC.
