The protest against a one-minute penalty to Harry Bates during Heat 2 of last weekend’s Forest Rally has been withdrawn.
The Australian Rally Championship announced the news on social media on Tuesday morning, stating simply:
“The protest lodged by Car 2 has since been withdrawn. Results will be finalised and confirmed shortly.”
Harry Bates and Coral Taylor had been leading the event until booking into a time control early saw them slapped with a one minute penalty.
It dropped them to an eventual finishing place of sixth, and saw Nathan Quinn and Ray Winwood-Smith take the Heat 2 win, and the overall Forest Rally victory.
