Post-race disqualification for Toyota at WEC 6 Hours of Silverstone

Toyota’s one-two finish at Silverstone was short-lived. Both the Japanese manufacturer’s cars were disqualified following post-race scrutineering, leaving Rebellion Racing in first and second place.

Toyota hardly had time to celebrate a third straight one-two finish in the championship, having dominated at the 6 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps and the 24 Hours of Le Mans. The post-race checks revealed an infringement of Article 3.5.6.d of the 2018 LMP1-H Technical Regulations which concern the deflection of the skid block. Following the stewards’ decision, #3 Rebellion Racing R13 Gibson (Menezes/Laurent/Beche) takes first place overall, followed by the sister car, the #1 Rebellion (Jani/Lotterer), with the #17 SMP Racing BR Engineering BR1-AER (Sarrazin/Orudzhev) in third place.
