NOTE / PENALTY:
ALAIN MENU’S TIMES DISALLOWED
After the end of the qualifying session the Stewards of the meeting disallowed all the times set by Alain Menu because his Chevrolet Lacetti did not comply with the 70-millimiter ground clearance. This demoted the Swiss from third to the back of the grid and promoted Robert Huff to third and Jordi Gené to fourth.

LADA ALLOWED TO RACE BUT NOT TO SCORE
The Stewards, having received a report from the FIA Technical Delegate, decided to allow the two Russian Bears Motorsport LADA cars to take part in the event further to the agreement of all the other competitors, however the Russian cars will not be eligible to score points for both the championship and the Independents Trophy. The reason for this decision was that intake and outlet ports of the cylinder head were not conform to the homologation form.
