Wtcc - Zolder: Gene excluded, Tarquini takes advantage.

At the end of scrutineering, Jordi Gené (SEAT SR) was excluded because of non-compliance of the air inlet flange. Gabriele Tarquini (SEAT SR) inherits the win and takes the same time the second in the championship at the expense of Andy Priaulx (BMW).

Blow for Jordi Gené (SEAT SR) after the meeting in Zolder. The Spaniard was excluded for a flange air intake not consistent with the end of scrutineering. In accounting terms, the commissioners' decision is a major decision because it deprives Jordi Gené victory. The Spaniard had indeed taken the lead a race after leading from start to finish.
Second, it allows Gabriele Tarquini (SEAT SR) to inherit the victory and reap the 25 points awarded to the winner. This disruption can finally return to the Italian second place overall. He is ahead now Andy Priaulx (BMW) and Rob Huff (Chevrolet) four and five units.
Jordi Gené will have to wait a little longer to validate a new success. That it is no longer arrived over two years when he won a victory in Mexico in 2008.
