Italy wins Beijing feature race

Netherlands looked set for a repeat of their sprint race win before the incident gave the win to Team Italy and Enrico Toccacelo. Completing the podium were Oliver Jarvis for Great Britain and Karl Reindler for Australia.

A number of spins and crashes saw the intervention of the safety car throughout the race, beginning on lap two when Team Pakistan crashed at turn three.

Team Netherlands' Jeroen Bleekemolen led from the start, leading until pitting on lap 20, the stop followed almost immediately by a safety car period for the spun Swiss car of Neel Jani.

Canada's James Hinchcliffe led the middle part of the race before taking its pit stop in the later stages of the race, returning the lead to the Netherlands.

But an error by Bleekemolen ended their race, handing the lead to Germany's Nico Hulkenberg temporarily before a gearbox problem ended his race.

This gave the lead and the victory to Team Italy's Enrico Toccacelo.
