Intro:
Toyota take win at the FIA World Endurance 6 Hours of Bahrain race - and clinch the Driver's World Championship title - on Saturday (November 15).
Script:
Under the desert sun, a flawless performance that saw Toyota claim a double victory - the 6 Hours of Bahrain race and more importantly the FIA World Endurance Championship for Drivers.The #8 crew of Anthony Davidson and Sebastien Buemi clinched the championship, while sister crew Alex Wurz, Stephane Sarrazin and Mike Conway claimed the race win in #7.
An alternator failure meant that the title-chasing Davidson and Buemi lost time in the pits after fighting at the front early on.
They could only finish in 11th position, 18 laps down on the race winners.
Wurz, Sarrazin and Conway controlled the race at the front, leading from the second hour to go on and claim the win and ensure Toyota enjoyed its most memorable race in the FIA World Endurance Championship to date.
Now it'll head to Brazil for the final race of the season on the 30th of November.
