Laser Tools Racing’s Ash Sutton has dropped to third in the results of the final British Touring Car Championship race of the day at Silverstone after being deemed to have gained “an unfair advantage during an incident with Tom Oliphant.”
The Infiniti Q50 racer, who suffered a front-left puncture in race two, progressed from the rear end of the field up to second position after a tight battle with Team BMW’s Tom Oliphant, making the move stick on the BMW racer after going round the outside of Copse Corner and completing the move into Maggots and Becketts.
After the race Sutton received a time penalty of an additional 0.3 seconds to his race time, and subsequently the positions between the pair are reversed as Oliphant takes second position ahead of Sutton.
The amended result also means Sutton’s standings advantage has dropped by two points, with the 2017 champion now having a gap of four points to nearest rival Colin Turkington as the championship heads to Croft next time out.
