Having considered the matter thoroughly, the Stewards determined that the Competitor’s Pit Lane garage doors were not open as required by Additional Regulation Clause 1.5. This is a violation of the relevant Rule. There were no mitigating factors. Commissioners felt a fine was an appropriate penalty and imposed a $5,000 fine after looking at the Suggested Penalties table for similar violations. Due to the absence of mitigating factors, the Commissioners do not suspend any part of the sentence.
