Yann Ehrlacher and Néstor Girolami were handed five-place grid penalties following qualifying for the FIA World Touring Car Cup at Zandvoort, for blocking and overtaking under red flags respectively.
Ehrlacher’s penalty, for blocking the Hyundai of Augusto Farfus, denies Lynk & Co the chance to lock out the first two rows of the grid for race one, after Thed Björk claimed pole position ahead of Yvan Muller and Andy Priaulx.
Farfus ultimately qualified in 18th after the Hyundai driver then went off the circuit at Turn 2 and into the barriers, preventing him from taking to the circuit to set a quicker lap in the latter part of the session.
Ehrlacher will start race one from ninth on the grid, with his penalty promoting PWR Racing’s Mikel Azcona to the second row of the grid in fourth.
Girolami meanwhile was adjudged to have overtaken under the red flag conditions which flew at the end of qualifying, dropping the Honda driver from 14th to 19th.
The penalty moves his Münnich Motorsport team-mate Esteban Guerrieri up to 15th as the best-placed Honda driver.
Race one is scheduled to get underway at 14:35 CEST (13:35 BST).
