Penalty for Fabrizio Giovanardi upheld

Motorbase Performance’s Fabrizio Giovanardi has had his penalty from the first race at Croft upheld.

Giovanardi was sent to the back of the race two grid after a clash with Team BMR’s Aron Smith, but appealed, and was allowed to retain his starting position.

The race stewards heard his case after the final race, and ruled that the first penalty still stands. Giovanardi has been fined £500, given three points on his racing licence, and will start the first race at Snetterton from the back of the grid.
