During post-race scrutineering, the Technical Stewards had noted a mismatch between part numbers in the technical passport and the car. The exclusion from the classification was made even though the parts are identical and all fully correspond to homologation.

'Daniel (Abt) drove fantastically on both days and absolutely deserves this victory,' says Allan McNish, Team Principal of Team Audi Sport ABT Schaeffler. 'What we are apparently suspected of is a administrative mistake in the car's passport that didn't give us any advantage at all. We want the opportunity to be able to clarify all details, that's why we've announced the intent to appeal.'
