Liverpool's Superleague Formula racer Frederic Vervisch produced another great drive to win one of the glamour races in China on Sunday.
The Reds star triumphed after finishing a comfortable 7.625 second victory ahead of FC Basel's Max Wissel.
The Belgian, who retired early from race one with an engine failure, rewarded his team's hard work in changing the powerplant between races with a near-faultless drive from third on the grid.
With front row starters John Martin (Beijing Guoan) and Robert Doornbos (Corinthians) both absent at the start due to the accident damage they sustained in race one, Andy Soucek (Flamengo) started on pole position and the Spaniard led the early stages before a mistake on lap six saw him spin on the exit of the chicane and drop down the order.
That handed Vervisch the lead and, apart from a grassy moment on the lap prior to his compulsory pit stop, the 24-year-old was consistently fast, pulling out a ten-second advantage before easing off at the finish.
Meanwhile, FC Porto, under the command of Earl Bamber ended his incredible fairytale story with victory in the most exciting Super Final in Superleague Formula by Sonangol history, to collect a cheque for €100,000 after a thrilling battle in the six-car, five-lap, dash-for-cash.
