Jorg led the race from a SEAT armada of Terting, Yvan Muller, Tom Coronel and James Thompson while Priaulx lay sixth – a position that would have been good enough to give him the championship title on race wins. However as the field prepared to take the restart, Terting suddenly slowed with mechanical problems, not only giving Jorg an unassailable lead but also promoting Priaulx into fifth. The champion was unable to relax as he came under increasing pressure from Fabrizio Giovanardi in the JAS Honda Accord, but despite Italian swarming all over the back of the
BMW, but experienced Italian knew not to get involved in deciding the destiny of the title.
However Priaulx held off Giovanardi for fifth place as Muller won the race, leaving Priaulx champion by a single point. Second in the race went to Yvan Muller who ends his first season in the WTCC as the lead SEAT driver in the standings, with Independents champion Coronel taking his best finish with third. Thompson took fourth with Giovanardi sixth, Andre Couto eighth and Dirk Muller completing the points scorers.
