Race 1 of the final GP2 Asia Series round of 2010 went underway today at Al Sakhir, Bahrain. Dani Clos ended Race 14^th place, while Plamen Kralev was forced to retire due to a contact with Christian Vietoris. Thanks to today's results, Clos will take off today from row 7, while Kralev will move from the 21^st place.  The final race of the season is set for 10:50 AM local time, and will be broadcasted by Italy's RAI 2 at 9:50 (Italian time).
