#FIAERC It took the stewards 4 hours to give @Craig_Breen a 2 minute penalty for a tyre infringement. Drops to 2nd in Valais, Lukyanuk wins. :(

Autosport.pt reports that he used 20 tyres instead of the mandatory 18 previously marked by stewards. Sos, when it's not Breen doing the damage, it's the team... Long gone the times of Kronos Peugeot being the rulers in semi-oficial french cars...

yes but what kind of tyre infringment? did he used more tyres? not approoved tyres?

Always hate to see things decided in a steward's office afterwards like this.

Did Peugeot/Sainteloc screw things up AGAIN?

Strange no confirmation on the ERC website front page or their Twitter feed ...

sadly is official....


Last minute: Breen demoted from first place to second

Craig Breen (Peugeot 208 T16 R5) has been demoted from first place to second at the 56th Rallye International du Valais. Following a report from the technical delegate stating that Breen used 20 marked tyres during the rally, the Irishman incurred a 2min penalty. As a consequence, Alexey Lukyanuk (Ford Fiesta R5) is the winner of the last round of the 2015 FIA European Rally Championship.
