Liverpool’s Superleague Formula race ace Frederic Vervisch produced a great performance to finish third in race one amid chaotic scenes in Beijing on Sunday.
Rain, fog and fading light meant that stewards took the sensible decision not to run the event-ending Super final, meaning that the €100,000 cheque for the 'weekend winner' was handed to Earl Bamber (PSV Eindhoven), who scored most points from the two 40-minute feature races, for the second time in seven days.
It was a good prize day for Vervisch took home €50,000 - a just reward after two superb overtaking-filled performances from the Belgian.
Race two was a chaotic, red-flag interrupted affair, as weather conditions changed mid-race and several drivers went off in the slippery conditions.
Reflecting on the events in Beijing, Vervisch said: "It's been a really good weekend and the result is excellent considering from where I started the first race.
"Qualifying wasn't good but we continued to work hard afterwards and we were fast in both races. I'm happy that the car is in one piece and I'm holding a cheque!
"I would have liked to have raced in the Super Final, but on the other hand you saw what happened in Ordos when drivers are racing for money, so maybe it was a good decision!"
Race 12, the final races in the Superleague Formula series this season, heads to Circuito de Navarra, Spain over the weekend of October 23/24.
