Coulthard, van der Zande face penalty

Mercedes drivers David Coulthard and Renger van der Zande could be excluded from the Valencia DTM round after their cars were found to be illegal after qualifying. Both men, who race old-spec C-class machines, were found to have rear overhangs that were 'not in compliance with the DTM technical regulations,' due to the rear wings not being correctly mounted. Stewards initially disqualified both drivers from qualifying, meaning that the pair were sent to the back of the grid from their third and fourth places
