Aurélien Comte given five place penalty

Galaxy Racing’s Aurélien Comte has been given a five place grid penalty for overtaking under yellow flags during today’s qualifying session at the Slovakiaring, which strips the 24-year-old of his Single-Make Trophy class pole position.

Comte had qualified third behind the two Super 2000 specification BMW 320sis of Petr Fulín and Mat’o Homola, but with his demotion this promotes German driver Andreas Pfister to third and to the Single-Make Trophy class pole.
