Breach of testing ban: Heavy penalty for Haupt Racing Team
Ever had a plan derail right before a big moment? Haupt Racing Team’s feeling that ahead of their Nürburgring home race. They’re hit with DTM’s harshest post-2024 testing ban penalties for two breaches:
1. Aug 3 Nürburgring test: Used Platinum driver Frank Stippler (violating their non-DTM/non-Platinum application) & skipped 3-day notice → their two Ford Mustang GT3s face a drive-through in Saturday’s race.
2. Aug 5-6 Hockenheim test: No 3-day notice → €500 fine.
Do you think the penalties fit the violations, or should they get a break? Share your take!
