Team Halder have withdrawn from the championship.
A disagreement between the team and the DSMB over the shutdown and disembark process for the FK7 Civic TCR resulted in Mike Halder being disqualified.
The agreement was that with the FK7, drivers could deactivate the fire bomb in parc ferme prior to releasing the belts and getting out of the car, to avoid accidental activation of the extinguisher system. This in itself, is messy, expensive, and potentially hazardous to anyone close by the car. The DSMB have subsequently backflipped on the agreement and issued Halder a penalty, maintaining that the driver can only switch the car off and get out - nothing else.
For something so trivial, TCR Germany cannot afford to lose more cars.
