18/11/2009 Appeal to be heard on November 25th


INTERNATIONAL COURT OF APPEAL
The following hearing of the International Court of Appeal will take place in Paris:
Hearing
Appeal lodged by the Royal Automobile Club of Belgium (RACB) on behalf of its competitor Pekaracing nv against decision N°17 taken by the Stewards of the Meeting dated 25 October 2009 concerning the event run at Zolder (Belgium) on 25 October 2009 and counting towards the 2009 FIA GT Championship

On 25 October 2009, the Stewards of the Meeting received a protest from Pekaracing nv against car N°1 of Vitaphone Racing. The competitor Pekaracing nv claimed that in the 2nd pit stop, more than the permitted number of mechanics from the Vitaphone Racing team were in the working area. After having viewed the television footage, the Stewards decided to impose a drive-through penalty, converted into a 30 second time penalty, upon car N°1.
On 25 October 2009, the competitor Pekaracing nv appealed the Stewards’ decision as it considered that a more substantial penalty should have been imposed upon Vitaphone Racing.

Is this a hail marry at winning the championship? Would the FIA reverse the results? Is this how you'd want to win the championship?

It'll kinda like the way France beat Ireland in football last night (or in Henry's case basketball)! I honestly think Pekaracing should move on & concentrate on 2010 when they get another chance to win the championship!

Well, if their claim is correct, Vitaphone weren't playing by the rules for a large part of the season? Yes, I think I'd want that clarified, so I know what to do in future.

P.S. Sorry about the Frogs scoring last night. Perhaps Tierry is considering a move to Rugby Union?

Nah, even in basketball you don't get random hits of the ball to keep it in play, Mr Henry should be going for volleyball.

OK guys back on topic! I think it's pathetic that PK are firing every last bullet they can to get the drivers championship from Vitaphone! Shame cos I liked them & their Vette but I guess desperate times mean desperate measurs!

Well , if YOU have a valid complaint , would you not say something or , would you let yourself be walked upon ?

Also , it needs to be clarified before next season .

If you are wrong , then you are wrong ..... end of .

I agree! I do not find this out of line at all.

It's not a pretty way to win a championship, to be sure, but it wasn't the prettiest way to lose one either. I don't see this as out of line either. It's a fair regulatory matter.

I'd want this matter clarified for future reference but I think 2009 belonged to Vitaphone. PK should move on now, but they do have a right to know the full stories and a clarification on the rules and what to do about such matters in the future.

If PeKa has a case,they have a case and so should Vitaphone be stripped of their illegally won championship. Simple really...

Appeal has been postponed a week to December 3rd, decision expected on the afternoon of the 4th.

I'll be stunned if PK win but if they feel they have a genuine case to appeal then all the power to them.

Or they willl win the appeal as FIA probably dont want to allow it in the future, but the penalty to Vitaphone will be just a 10sec added time or something else that wont make any difference in the results at Zolder. Who knows.

Even if it was Rugby Union, it would of been a knock-on and a penalty.
