Penalty question for ace Cammish

Reigning Porsche Carrera Cup GB champion Dan Cammish was stripped of a victory in the opening round at Brands Hatch last weekend after a controversial penalty.

The Redline driver won race one on the road but was handed a five-second penalty for exceeding track limits, which dropped him to second behind Dino Zamparelli.

Overnight rain combined with damaged cars dropping fluid meant track conditions were tricky.

“I think I had a bit of a raw deal,” said Cammish. “If it was dry then it would be fair but the track was wet and a car was putting down fluid. As the leader I was the first to come across it each time.”

Porsche GB motorsport manager James Macnaughton said: “We have to act in accordance with the rules, regulations and the blue book and the information we have from the judges. All the drivers have signed up to that.”

Cammish made up for the disappointment in the second race by claiming a lights-to-flag win.
