DJRTP Escapes penalty for technical breach at The Bend

DJR Team Penske has escaped penalty following a breach of technical rules on Scott McLaughlin’s car during the OTR SuperSprint.

Supercars has confirmed to Speedcafe.com that the incident occurred during the Sunday qualifying session at The Bend Motorsport Park where the team fitted the incorrect drop gear to McLaughlin’s Falcon.

“Upon a routine post-race investigation by the Supercars Technical Department, it was found Car 17 had been fitted with an ineligible drop gear ratio during Sunday qualifying at the OTR SuperSprint,” read a statement issued to Speedcafe.com.

“There was no competitive advantage and the team admitted the error.”
Seriously Supercars, where's the consistency, if there's a breach there should be a routine penalty of exclusion from the affected session.

If this had been 888 you can only imagine the baying for blood that would occur.

I think the fact that "no competitive advantage was gained" is irrelevant.
