Qualifying penalty for four drivers
Four drivers were penalised after the FIA European Touring Car Cup qualifying. Tomas Engström, Andrey Smetsky, Janis Horeliks and Philip Geipel will be moved down five places on the grid for the first race tomorrow. The reason for the penalties were that the drivers did not slow down enough under yellow flags.
This will result in Engström slipping down to ninth, while Andrey Smetsky, Janis Horeliks and Philip Geipel will be demoted to 18th, 20th and 22nd respectively.
