Mabellini hit with two-minute ERC Ceredigion time penalty
Andrea Mabellini will start the penultimate round of the 2025 FIA European Rally Championship with a two-minute time penalty following a decision of the Stewards.
It follows a report that members of Mabellini’s team – without his knowledge – were identified as being on stages 10 and 12 of JDS Rali Ceredigon at a time when rules state they should not have been.
During a hearing earlier, the Stewards determined that there had been a breach of article 35.3 and article 35.4.2 of the FIA 2025 Regional Rally Sporting Regulations, article 9 of the Supplementary Regulations and article 12.2.1.c of the FIA 2025 International Sporting Code.
As a result, they imposed a two-minute time penalty on Mabellini and co-driver Virginia Lenzi, who are locked in a close battle for the ERC title with Miko Marczyk and Szymon Gospodarczyk.
