Rob Huff dropped five places

Chevrolet’s Robert Huff, who had posted the fourth fastest lap in yesterday’s qualifying, will be dropped five places on the grid for Sunday’s Race 1. The decision was taken after his car failed to restart on its own means after stopping at the weighing scales.

In the mean time, the stewards have confirmed Gené’s pole. At the end of yesterday’s qualifying session, Chevrolet lodged a protest against Jordi Gené who was said to have spoiled Nicola Larini’s last attempt to improve his lap time.

After having examined TV footage and telemetry and having heard both drivers, the Stewards of the meeting rejected the protest and confirmed Gené on pole position for today’s Race 1.

Like in Brazil, the FIA Touring Car Bureau have issued a decision to limit the supercharged air pressure and the fuel rail pressure on the SEAT León TDI cars.

Both pressures have been limited to the average maximum values measured by the FIA data logger during the previous WTCC event in Curitiba.

This decision applies from Puebla and until further notice.
