Dave and Kelly Thomas have been confirmed as winners of the 2WD Cup at the Rally of Canberra after their main rival was given a 30-minute penalty.
Upon the final results being published by the Australian Rally Championship, provisional winners Justin Northage and Scott Muhling dropped to second.
The Lotus Exige crew used outside assistance to receive a spare tyre between SS8 and SS9, resulting in a significant 30-minute penalty.
The limited number of 2WD competitors meant they only dropped one place and ten championship points from their original finishing position.
Father and daughter Thomas, who drove a Subaru BRZ in the event, now lead the 2WD Cup heading into their home round in Western Australia.
