Hearing

Case ICA-2022-02: Appeal lodged by Parolin Motorsport Srl against Decision No. 105 dated 30 April 2022 of the Stewards of the event held in Zuera (Spain) counting towards the 2022 FIA OKJ European Karting Championship

On 30 April 2022, the Stewards received a report (document No. 75) from the FIA Technical Delegate, stating that at the end of the OK-Junior Qualifying Heat D-F, the kart No. 216 driven by Mr. Rene Lammers (the Appellant’s driver) was found to have lateral bodywork that was not in conformity with Article 8.4 of the FIA 2022 CIK-FIA Technical Regulations and the related Homologation Form. The Stewards therefore decided to disqualify the kart of Mr. Rene Lammers from the above-mentioned qualifying session of the event held in Zuera.
