http://www.gt1world.com/news/article/championship-race-
Matech Competition Ford GT pairing Romain Grosjean and Thomas Mutsch completed a comprehensive victory in the first-ever Championship Race of the FIA GT1 World Championship in Abu Dhabi.
Starting from pole position, Mutsch drove the first stint and led the first half of the race from Bertolini. As with the Qualifying Race, the racing was intense under the bright lights of the Yas Marina circuit.
Following the driver switch at the half-hour mark, Grosjean reeled off a series of lap times which were two seconds quicker than his nearest challenger to win by 20 seconds.

OK, video link working... 
Surprised to see the Ford listed as having the least hp but pretty big torque output given the engine displacement. Heck, even the Nissan GT-R's V8 is larger. BTW, that track looks beautiful.
