Suzuki won the World Endurance Championship this weekend after a close final race in Qatar. The SERT took third at Losail to clinch their 11th Endurance title.
The Suzuki team entered the weekend with a 9 point lead over the BMW Motorrad France 99 team. But with rider Daisaku Sakai out with an injury, SERT had to race the final round with the two man team of Vincent Philippe and Anthony Delhalle.
