Unfortunately (as a Blomqvist fan) everyone has had their penalties rescinded.

I'm sure a similar situation occurred a few years ago in the same series.

They do have some rather erratic stewards, don't they?

World Touring Car Championship 1987. First round. Monza. Allan Moffat and John Harvey finished 7th, but the first six cars - all BMW M3s - were excluded over a homologation technicality.
However Moffat and Harvey were not registered for championship points. Neither were the teams that finished 9th (8th was another DQ), or 10th, or 11th. In fact, you had to go all the way down to 14th and find Walter Voulaz and Marcelo Cipriani's Alfa Romeo to find a championship entrant, and which ended up with the maximum points from deep within the field.
There's a thought somewhere that one of the NASCAR sweepstake races in the fifties that ran convertibles versus hardtops with points awarded separately to each class had only one hardtop entrant, so he won the first place points for the Grand National series, but I can't remember who that was. Joe Lee Johnson? Someone of that ilk.

Was that the incident when the roofs were too thin?
