Formula Superleague press release
Liverpool claimed the 2009 Superleague Formula by Sonangol title at Jarama in Spain after Adrian Valles produced the two consistent performances he needed to seal the crown, despite the best efforts of Tottenham’s Craig Dolby.
The Spaniard, who came to the final round with a hefty 49-point cushion over his fellow Premier League opposition, finished race 1 seventh before avoiding the potential pitfalls of race 2 to climb from 12th to fourth by the chequered flag.
Spurs’ Craig Dolby meanwhile put in a pair of storming drives, moving from 10th to 4th in the opening race before producing arguably the drive of the season in the second, passing car after car to come through to second after starting 15th. Despite his heroics, the Melton-Mowbray ace still missed out on the championship by 30 points.
Yelmer Buurman (Anderlecht) won race 1 and Super Final race, and Ho Pin Tung (Galatasaray) clinched victory in Race 2.
Sébastien Bourdais, who raced again for FC Sevilla, had another good week-end, as he clinched 2nd position in Race 1, then in Super Final.
