The Race of Portugal saw Wéber collide with Lukoil Racing driver Aleksei Dudukalo sending both cars into the gravel traps; they were able to return to the pits to retire their cars after the incident. He skipped the next round in Brazil due to an insufficient budget. He aimed to return to the championship in 2013.{{cite news|last=Ferret|first=Olivier|title=WTCC - Gabor Weber to skip Brazilian event|url=http://motorsport.nextgen-auto.com/Gabor-Weber-to-skip-Brazilian-event,45280.html|work=Nextgen-Auto|accessdate=29 December 2012|date=10 July 2012}}
