The AF Corse Ferrari nº 71, crewed by Jaime Melo and Toni Vilander came home fourth, flying the flag for the championship winning team, after they had taken the title at Silverstone. The Italian team’s GT2 car in the hands of Gianmaria Bruni and Giancarlo Fisichella, had to retire in the early stages of the race, with a technical problem, but they too had already taken the championship title.
