Nicolas Baert has been disqualified from DTM Qualifying 2 at the Norisring for a breach of Article 28.1 of the technical regulations due to excessive turbo overboost.

The #8 Comtoyou Racing Aston Martin Vantage GT3, which had originally set the fastest time in Group B and secured a front-row start, will now be moved to the back of the grid for Race 2. Comtoyou explained the cause to be “a faulty sensor transmitting incorrect data.”

A new qualifying result and starting grid will be issued by race control.
