Results suspended due to Farfus & Tarquini

By

The results of the penultimate round of the FIA World Touring Car Championship will remain suspended. This is due to the technical check of the front and rear hubs of Augusto Farfus’ BMW 320si and Gabriele Tarquinis’ SEAT Léon TDi. The FIA Technical Delegate has sealed the parts after the second race in Okayama.

A couple of other penalties were issued after the Japanese race: Andrey Romanov has been given a 30-second penalty in the first race. The stewards found the Russian guilty for the incident with Ibrahim Okyay. Romanov drops from 19th overall and 6th in the independents to 22nd and 8th.

Stefano D’Aste has been given a five place grid penalty for the first race in Macau. The penalty is because the clash D’Aste had with Tiago Monteiro in the second race, while fighting for third. The stewards found that D’Aste could have avoided the incident with more cautious driving.
