Not enough fuel in the tank: Bastian Buus (Porsche) disqualified

Bastian Buus lost his eleventh-place finish in the first DTM race at the Hockenheimring. The stewards disqualified the Land-Motorsport Porsche 911 GT3 R following the first race.

Contrary to regulations, the Porsche 911 GT3 R did not have the required 700 grams of fuel on board for the post-race technical inspection. Instead, there were only 49 grams of fuel left in the Porsche’s tank.

The stewards consequently disqualified the Porsche.

This marks yet another setback in Bastian Buus’s thoroughly disastrous DTM season. The lightning-fast Dane has suffered repeated major setbacks whilst driving for the Land-Motorsport team. He had already been disqualified at Zandvoort for being underweight.
