Bennani loses independent victory

Wiechers-Sport’s Mehdi Bennani was deprived of his Race 1 victory in the Independents’ Trophy when the Stewards of the meeting decided to impose a 30-second time penalty on him.

The Moroccan driver was punished for cutting a chicane and gaining unfair advantage. Harry Vaulkhard inherited the Independents’ win and one point in the overall classification.
