Hearing

Case ICA-2024-06: Appeal lodged by Ferrari AF Corse against Decision No. 80 dated 12 May 2024 taken by the Stewards of the 6 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps (Belgium) counting towards the 2024 FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC)

On 11 May 2024, during the 6 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps, further to a red flag deployed at 17:13, the Stewards decided at 18:49 to resume the race at 19:10 for 1 hour and 44 minutes in accordance with Article 14.3.1 of the 2024 WEC Sporting Regulations.

On 11 May 2024 at 22:03, Ferrari AF Corse lodged a protest against Stewards’ Decision No. 71 and the provisional classification posted on 11 May 2024 at 21:46. Ferrari AF Corse was summoned to attend a hearing during which it confirmed that the protest was lodged against Decision No. 71 and consequently against the provisional classification.

On 12 May 2024, at 00:12, the Stewards by decision No. 80 rejected the protest on the basis that Stewards’ decisions cannot be the subject of a protest under Article 13.2.1 of the FIA International Sporting Code.

On 15 May 2024, the Appellant lodged an appeal against the Stewards’ Decision No. 80 before the ICA.
