And another ACO sanctioned race, another DQ or results altering penalty. #51 Ferrari penalized for ride height infringement in post race tech. DQ'd, classified in last place in GTE-Pro/Overall, Porsche takes 1-2 in Pro, AMR's podium streak extended.
Odd how teams know that there's a 99% chance that they'll get excluded over a tech infringement unless it's something very minor, but it happens just about every ACO sanctioned race now, be it WEC or ELMS. And there's calls for the ACO to enforce more lenient penalties, which is the opposite of what fans of say NASCAR were calling for, which was DQ's for tech infringement. Once NASCAR started giving offending teams last place finishes, points and prize money like they were a first lap DNF, such rule bending has largely stopped.
Either the ACO are doing a horrible job officiating this stuff, teams are pushing the rules too far, or both. Especially if a car passes pre-race tech and then flunks post race tech for seemingly no reason and nothing changed on the car during the race.
