Here we go, the Final Countdown! The FIA World Endurance Cup for GT Manufacturers is the toughest battle to predict this weekend with just four points between championship leaders Ferrari and contenders Porsche.

To be sure of adding a fourth world title to their trophy cabinet Ferrari need one of their cars to win the race and the second car to finish at least 7th overall.  This would give the Italian manufacturer 31 points and 290 points in total, meaning if Porsche finished 2nd and 3rd they would still only have a total of 288 points for the season.

Porsche’s Richard Lietz, currently on 135 points, holds a 20 point advantage over his nearest rivals able to overhaul his championship points tally.  His teammate Michael Christensen is currently on 117 points but cannot challenge the Austrian, so Davide and James in the no.71 AF Corse Ferrari, currently on 115 points, are the nearest challengers.

“The target along the season was to win the Constructor’s title. We are here at the last round on the top chart and we want absolutely close at the first place to win this title for Ferrari. It will be a long and hard race, the other challengers are always very fast. Anyway we know we are fast too, so we want to defend the Constructors title 2014. We are at the third placement, so we are going to do our best to close the season” said Davide flighting to Bahrain
