The FIA International Court of Appeal has released its decision following Porsche’s appeal.
The FIA International Court of Appeal has rejected Porsche’s appeal against Antonio Felix da Costa’s disqualification from the Misano E-Prix earlier this year. Da Costa won the opening round of the Misano double-header but was disqualified hours later due to a technical infraction involving a Throttle Damper Spring not in conformity. Porsche appealed the decision, which was heard on the 7th of June, but the ruling was upheld. The FIA stated that the breach was in violation of Article 27.10 of the Sporting Regulations and Article 3.3 of the Technical Regulations. With the appeal denied, da Costa’s chances for the championship have significantly diminished, as he remains 83 points behind the current leader Nick Cassidy. This outcome effectively eliminates da Costa from title contention, closing the possibility of him being a challenger for the championship.
