Tiago Monteiro excluded from race two; Sébastien Loeb inherits win

Honda’s Tiago Monteiro has been excluded from the second World Touring Car Championship (WTCC) race in Thailand, handing Citroën’s Sébastien Loeb his fourth win of the season.

Monteiro originally won the red-flagged second race, which was stopped early due to fading light. However the Portuguese star was later excluded from the results for having failed the post-race ride height check.

The left-hand side of Monteiro’s Civic was found to be below the required 60 mm required clearance.

The decision elevates Loeb to the win, with Ma Qing Hua in second and new champion José María López taking third.

It also means that Loeb moves past team-mate Yvan Muller in the drivers’ championship standings to second overall.
