ABT Lamborghini Disqualified From Nürburgring 24 Second Place
Post-race rolling-road dyno testing showed the No. 84 produced power above GT3 Balance of Performance limits, prompting stewards to strip its result and leave the decision final.
Overview
- Race stewards disqualified the No. 84 ABT Lamborghini Huracán GT3 EVO2 after a hearing found it exceeded permitted power in post-race scrutineering.
- The probe used rolling-road dyno power measurements to compare the car against Balance of Performance rules that aim to equalize lap times across different GT3 models.
- With ABT choosing not to appeal, the No. 35 Walkenhorst Aston Martin of Mattia Drudi, Nicki Thiim and Christian Krognes was promoted to second and the No. 99 ROWE BMW moved up to third.
- The disqualified Lamborghini was not registered for Intercontinental GT Challenge points, so the IGTC round classification and championship standings remain unchanged and other checked SP9 cars showed no irregularities.
- The ruling underlines how technical scrutineering can change endurance-race outcomes and may push teams to tighten post-race compliance checks and data logging to avoid future penalties.
