And staying out is precisely in line with the current regulations, as noted in the official results:

'If an incident for which a Drive Through or Stop-Go Penalty is imposed occurs within 6 laps or less remaining to the finish of the Race, the BTCC Clerk will impose a time penalty of not less than 30 seconds and not more than 1 minute on to the total Race time of the driver'

It would probably be fairer to describe it as 'Chilton was awarded a 30 second penalty for an incident in the last 6 laps', as opposed to saying he failed to take a drive-through penalty.
