Muller lost control on cement dust that had been laid on the track following an earlier accident for James Thompson. Unsighted by the dust, Tarquini hit Muller's car, and the pair were then hit by Alain Menu. The three drivers lined up seventh, eighth and ninth, ahead of Rickard Rydell who suffered engine problems at the end of Q1. Lada Sport teammate Thompson crashed into the abandoned Wiechers-Sport car of Stefano D'Aste during Q1.http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/80280 Thompson to miss Macau races Steven English Autosport Haymarket Publications 21 November 2009 21 November 2009 Thompson was taken to hospital and although he was later released he had suffered bruising to his feet, stopping him from competing in the races. He would not have been able to race anyway as his car was too badly damaged in the crash. D'Aste also missed the races as his car was also badly damaged, as did Thompson's teammate Kirill Ladygin who also crashed during qualifying. Muller and Tarquini were also taken to hospital following their accident, but both were cleared to race after their cars were repaired.http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/80279 Muller, Tarquini cleared to race Steven English Autosport Haymarket Publications 21 November 2009 21 November 2009 Race One Rob Huff took a commanding victory for Chevrolet from pole position in the first race. His fellow front-row starter Andy Priaulx dropped back from the rolling start and ran wide at the first turn, hitting the wall. Tiago Monteiro moved up to second place, while Gabriele Tarquini made his way from seventh to third. On lap eight Monteiro slowed, teammate Tarquini passing him for second place. Jordi Gene finished third, ahead of Alain Menu. Monteiro also allowed title contender Yvan Muller through, before BMW drivers Augusto Farfus and Jörg Müller also dropped back to finish seventh and eighth, giving them a front-row start for Race Two. Tom Coronel finished 13th overall, beating rival Felix Porteiro to the Independents' class victory. Race Two Farfus led away from pole position to win the final race of the season, while Tarquini took the 2009 title after finishing fifth. BMW Team Germany teammate Jörg Müller held off pressure from SEAT drivers Yvan Muller and Tiago Monteiro, while Tarquini had moved up to fifth position. A crash for Tom Boardman brought out the safety car on the third lap. The race was red-flagged at the end of lap eight after a major accident at the final turn involving Felix Porteiro, Franz Engstler and André Couto. Porteiro ran wide and hit the barriers, before being hit by Engstler. Engstler's car was left stranded in the middle of the track, where he was collected heavily by Couto. Engstler suffered a broken collarbone in the accident. The race was halted, and eventually it was decided that it would not be restarted. As the results were taken from the end of lap seven, Porteiro was given the Independents' victory. Results Qualifying Pos.
