Richard Westbrook's qualifying lap times cancelled

In post-qualifying scrutineering, the number 60-Prospeed Competition Porsche 997 GT3 RS failed to meet the technical regulations. As a result, all the lap times that were set by its driver Richard Westbrook in qualifying were cancelled and the car will be placed to the back of the grid for the start of this afternoon's race. Originally, Westbrook had claimed pole position in the GT2 class at the Hungaroring.

The infringement involved article 257.5.4.3.e of Appendix J of the regulations. In scrutineering, the engine failed to stall immediately when the air restrictors were blocked. The technical delegate sent a report to the stewards of the meeting, who decided to cancel the qualifying lap times for the Prospeed Competition entry and to place the car at the back of the grid. The team decided not to appeal the decision.

The cancellation of Westbrook's lap times promoted the number 51-AF Corse Ferrari F430, driven by Alvaro Barba and Niki Cadei, to pole position in the GT2 class.
