Fernando Alonso has moved a step closer to winning the World Endurance Championship title after victory at a snow-affected Spa-Francorchamps with Toyota.
The Spaniard and his teammates, Kazuki Nakajima and Sebastien Buemi, claimed victory at what is the penultimate race of the WEC 2018-19 super-season. The trio claimed the Le Mans 24 Hours last year and can claim the overall title at that prestigious event, which rounds off the campaign.
With a 31-point lead, Alonso, Buemi and Nakajima's No.8 car just needs to finish seventh or higher for the drivers' championship. Given the dominance of the Toyota team only a reliability issue would thwart that.
