Red Bull Ampol Racing plans to protest after drivers Shane van Gisbergen and Broc Feeney were disqualified after finishing one-two in the season-opening Supercars race in Newcastle.
Motorsport Australia officials announced the disqualifications on Sunday after convening following protests by rival teams Tickford Racing and Walkinshaw Andretti United.Officials upheld the protests, finding the cars were in breach of rule C16.2.1.1, with the driver cooling systems not correctly placed within the car cockpit.
"The head of motorsport's clear determination is that the systems in issue do not comply with the rules," the decision read."The team has sought permission from the Supercars head of motorsport prior to race 1 of the Supercars championship, which was granted, and we acted upon this permission," Red Bull Ampol said in an Instagram post.
