Motor racing contest February 2020 2010 FIA GT1 World Championship 2009 (FIA GT) 2011 thumb|right|Vitaphone Racing won the inaugural FIA GT1 Teams' World Championship with its Maserati MC12s and drivers Michael Bartels and Andrea Bertolini won the Drivers' World Championship The 2010 FIA GT1 World Championship was the inaugural FIA GT1 World Championship, a motor racing competition reserved for FIA GT1 cars. The championship was a replacement for the FIA GT Championship which had been held annually from 1997 to 2009. It was the first sports car racing series to be sanctioned by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA) as a World Championship since the demise of the World Sportscar Championship at the end of the 1992 season. Developed by the Stéphane Ratel Organisation (SRO), the 2010 championship was decided over ten events in ten countries on three continents. It was contested by twelve teams, each being independent of the automobile manufacturer that they represented, although they were permitted limited support from that manufacturer.Sporting regulations – FIA GT1 World Championship Retrieved from www.fia.com on 26 August 2010. As archived at web.archive.org Aston Martin, Corvette, Ford, Lamborghini, Maserati, and Nissan were each represented by two teams. Unlike the FIA GT Championship, where several tyre manufacturers competed, the FIA GT1 World Championship has a single provider, Michelin. Michael Bartels and Andrea Bertolini, who won the final FIA GT Championship for Drivers in 2009, won the first GT1 World Championship for Drivers with a race to spare. Despite finishing twelfth in the Qualification Race in Argentina, Bartels and Bertolini were assured of the title as the Young Driver AMR pairing of Tomáš Enge and Darren Turner could only finish tenth which failed to keep them within reach. A non-scoring weekend for Enge and Turner dropped them to fourth in the final championship standings, as Matech Competition's Thomas Mutsch and Hexis AMR's Frédéric Makowiecki moved into second and third places respectively as Makowiecki won both races and Mutsch finished second in each race. With the assistance of Miguel Ramos, Enrique Bernoldi and Alexandre Negrão in the team's second car during the season, Vitaphone Racing also claimed the Teams' Championship in the same race, as Young Driver AMR, Hexis AMR and Reiter all failed to score enough points to take the championship to a final race. Aston Martin was awarded the SRO Trophy for Manufacturers.http://media.gt1world.com/pointsn.php?season=2010 Points Chart:2010, gt1world.com, as archived at web.archive.org 25 September 2011 https://web.archive.org/web/20110925144429/http://media.gt1world.com/pointsn.php?season=2010 25 September 2011 dead Calendar The SRO announced a provisional 2010 calendar featuring twelve events, although host circuits were not named.

Prior to the Nürburgring round, Phoenix Racing / Carsport informed the FIA that they were no longer able to enter the No. 14 Corvette due to the car being returned to its private owner. Phoenix's inability to enter two cars for the remainder of the season led race stewards to deem the team to be in violation of GT1 regulations. This required the team to forfeit all points earned over the course of the season, and team points from the Nürburgring round onward would also be redistributed to other competitors finishing behind the remaining Phoenix entry. Prior to the San Luis finale, Mad-Croc also failed to maintain a two-car entry and forfeited their Teams' Championship points. http://auto-racing.speedtv.com/article/gt1-san-luis-saturday-notebook/ GT1: San Luis Saturday Notebook Speed Channel SpeedTV.com John Dagys 5 December 2010 9 December 2010 https://web.archive.org/web/20101207011655/http://auto-racing.speedtv.com/article/gt1-san-luis-saturday-notebook/ 7 December 2010 dead Pos Team Manufacturer Car ABUARE SILGBR BRNCZE PRIFRA SPABEL NÜRDEU ALGPRT NAVESP INTBRA SANARG Total QR CR QR CR QR CR QR CR QR CR QR CR QR CR QR CR QR CR QR CR 1 DEU Vitaphone Racing Team Maserati 1 3 4 3 7 1 5 1 1 Ret 7 10 6 2 1 7 6 8 9 12 7 195 2 Ret 6 9 15 7 6 5 Ret 11 4 7 12 13 Ret Ret 12 4 1 16 14 2 FRA Hexis AMR Aston Martin 9 7 Ret 1 2 8 9 11 9 Ret 5 Ret 7 10 6 9 2 15 13 1 1 177 10 8 17 2 13 9 4 17 13 13 10 5 4 16 13 EX Ret 3 4 4 3 3 DEU Reiter Lamborghini 24 15 8 10 Ret DNS DNS 2 18 7 Ret 3 2 12 7 17 Ret 9 12 Ret 10 155 25 10 5 6 3 20 Ret 13 10 2 1 4 14 14 8 1 1 Ret Ret 5 4 4 DEU Young Driver AMR Aston Martin 7 Ret 11 4 EX 2 2 10 16 10 6 1 1 4 10 Ret 4 1 2 10 15 147 8 4 Ret Ret 5 11 Ret Ret 20 3 Ret 9 5 15 11 DNS DNS 12 11 Ret 5 5 CHE Matech Competition Ford 5 2 1 21 Ret 6 1 7 7 6 3 6 13 5 2 10 Ret Ret 14 2 2 135 6 DNS DNS 22 18 18 Ret 20 14 8 16 20 12 4 7 7 8 17 8 6 GBR Sumo Power GT Nissan 22 13 12 5 1 21 17 3 8 19 11 16 8 9 Ret 5 3 14 Ret 13 16 130 23 11 16 8 Ret 3 3 9 2 8 Ret Ret 15 1 4 16 Ret 2 6 6 Ret 7 DEU Triple H Team Hegersport Maserati 33 5 9 NC 6 13 Ret 8 3 12 2 13 20 6 9 6 Ret 10 10 11 9 84 34 DNS 7 16 4 10 11 14 11 4 8 Ret 9 18 19 2 11 16 17 8 Ret 8 BEL Marc VDS Racing Team Ford 40 6 13 19 8 16 Ret 20 4 9 Ret Ret 11 Ret 5 3 5 11 5 3 Ret 62 41 Ret DNS 18 10 18 15 22 14 14 15 12 17 19 15 12 10 20 15 15 Ret 9 DEU All-Inkl.com Münnich Motorsport Lamborghini 37 Ret 17 17 Ret 14 13 16 17 15 Ret DNS 19 Ret 17 8 Ret EX EX 14 6 28 38 Ret Ret 20 12 4 7 15 12 5 9 11 Ret 8 Ret Ret 9 5 7 9 11 10 CHE Swiss Racing Team Nissan 3 9 14 15 Ret 12 10 21 15 16 12 14 10 Ret 20 14 Ret 17 18 7 Ret 5 4 12 Ret 14 9 15 14 12 Ret 17 16 17 21 11 18 13 Ret 13 16 Ret 13 – DEU Phoenix Racing / Carsport Corvette 13 1 2 11 Ret 17 8 6 5 EX 13 2 3 3 3 11 8 6 3 18 12 – 14 16 3 7 Ret Ret Ret – BEL Mad-Croc Racing Corvette 11 14 10 12 11 5 15 4 6 1 Ret 18 18 7 14 19 20 – 12 Ret 15 13 14 19 12 19 19 18 17 15 23 17 16 15 Ret 18 19 DNS DNS Pos Team Manufacturer Car QR CR QR CR QR CR QR CR QR CR QR CR QR CR QR CR QR CR QR CR Total ABUARE SILGBR BRNCZE PRIFRA SPABEL NÜRDEU ALGPRT NAVESP INTBRA SANARG SRO Trophy for Manufacturers The SRO Trophy for Manufacturers was established mid-season by the SRO Group as an award for the best of the season's six manufacturers, although unlike the Drivers' and Teams' Championships it was not an official FIA championship. Rankings for the Trophy were based on the results for each car in both the Qualifying and Championship Races, with all finishing cars in points earning positions combining their points toward the manufacturer's total. Aston Martin secured the inaugural Trophy, having previously won the FIA GT Manufacturers' Cup in 2006.
