Former grand prix winner Jean Alesi charged his way through the pack to win Saturday's Speedcar Series race at Dubai Autodrome, to add to his victory from the previous day.

Alesi, who started seventh on the reversed grid, pulled off some trademark stunning passing manoeuvres as he carved through the field.

Gianni Morbidelli finished second, ahead of Johnny Herbert. Frentzen finished fourth, despite being punted into a spin by Terrien at Turn 10. Behind Terrien, Thomas Biagi, Marchy Lee and MotoGP star Marco Melandri, who was delayed by a huge first-corner slide, rounded out the point scorers.

Alesi has rocketed up to third in the point's standings, nine points behind series leader Morbidelli and just two behind second-placed Herbert. There is just one race weekend remaining until the end of the second season of Speedcar Series.
