Dan Lloyd saw his TCR Europe title hopes dealt a further blow after the chequered flag had flown in race two in Barcelona, after he was handed a ten-second penalty for forcing Mat’o Homola off the track.
Lloyd had finished in ninth on the road, but was demoted to 16th following the application of the penalty, which came after the stewards “reviewed the incidence in multiple angles including CCTC, live TV and onboard cameras”.
The Brutal Fish Racing driver thus drops from second in the standings to fourth, 25 points adrift of new leader Mike Halder. Lloyd had led the standings heading into the event, but after struggling for pace, he leaves Barcelona having accumulated no points all weekend.
BRC Racing’s Dániel Nagy was also penalised, being dropped one place for cutting the chicane at Turn 2 on lap 12 and gaining an advantage.
The Hungarian’s penalty drops him to fifth, behind Halder, giving the German a further three points. Halder now leads the standings by 13 points over Mehdi Bennani.
Julien Briché was handed a three place grid penalty for his next race, after contact with Evgenii Leonov, although the Frenchman’s result remains unchanged after he finished last, three laps down and out of the points.
