Nurburgring Auto GP: Tamas Pal Kiss wins, Kimiya Sato claims title
Tamas Pal Kiss won the second Auto GP race at the Nurburgring, but could not stop Kimiya Sato wrapping up the championship with one event still to come
Kiss took the lead of the reverse-grid race at the first corner, despite starting fifth in his Virtuosi UK entry.
Sato's progress was slower after starting eighth, but he had worked his way up to third place by the end.
The bottom step of the podium was enough to give him the Euronova Racing driver the title.
Second was home driver Markus Pommer, who never quite had the speed to challenge Kiss, and had to fight off Sato at the end of the race.
