Explained: Why Shane van Gisbergen wasn't kicked out of the Top 10 Shootout in Adelaide. RepcoSC
Motorsport Australia has since clarified the van Gisbergen decision, explaining that a financial penalty is protocol for speeding and limiter incidents outside of races as long as there is no performance gain.
"A mistake by the driver is not an excuse and the breach is therefore established and admitted by the driver and competitor. "It is not uncommon for cars to be recorded as entering pitlane at much higher speeds than the maximum speed recorded by car #1 in the pitlane in this case. The penalty for such a breach in a qualifying session is a fine.
