Abt Sportsline risks losing its second place in the N\u00fcrburgring \u00a024 Hours following a technical inspection – almost two weeks after the conclusion of the race.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
It has been suggested that the #84 Lamborghini Hurac\u00e1n GT3 Evo2, driven by Mirko Bortolotti, Patric Niederhauser and polesitter Luca Engstler, ran at around 20 horsepower above the maximum permissible values in a dyno test on Tuesday.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
The permissible tolerance is two per cent. With an estimated power output of 500hp, this equates to a maximum of 10hp.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
A race spokesperson has confirmed that, following checks, no irregularities were found in five other cars from Aston Martin, BMW, Ford, Mercedes-AMG and Porsche.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
The technical commissioners’ report has been forwarded to the race commissioners, who will allow the team to respond. Until then, the results remain subject to change.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
The Abt Lamborghini initially could not be inspected due to a faulty clutch. After supervised repairs, a new measurement followed at a test centre in Mechernich.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
The test on Tuesday continued until 6 pm due to observed irregularities. A new measurement on Wednesday also failed to produce a valid result due to a technical defect on the vehicle.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
Should the team be disqualified, Abt would have 96 hours to appeal to the German Motorsport Federation.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
If the disqualification is upheld, Walkenhorst Motorsport with the Aston Martin Vantage, and Rowe Racing with the BMW M4, would benefit by moving up to second and third, respectively.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Abt Sportsline risks losing its second place in the N\u00fcrburgring \u00a024 Hours following a technical inspection – almost…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":702495,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[572],"tags":[64,63,827,830,828,831,829,826,813,823,825,806,805,824,803,804,822,85],"class_list":["post-702494","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-motosport","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-daniel-ricciardo","tag-f1-calendar","tag-f1-live","tag-f1-results","tag-f1-standings","tag-ferrari","tag-formula-1","tag-lewis-hamilton","tag-max-verstappen","tag-motor","tag-motor-sports","tag-motorsport","tag-motosport","tag-motosports","tag-racing","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/702494","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=702494"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/702494\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/702495"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=702494"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=702494"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=702494"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
