The following hearing of the International Court of Appeal will take place in Paris:
Hearing
Case ICA-2024-14: Appeal lodged by MP Motorsport B.V. against Decision No. 13 dated 04 December 2024 of the National Appeal and Disciplinary Court of the Real Federación Española de Automovilismo (“RFEdA”), in the framework of the 2024 International Series Eurocup-3 Championship.
On November 9, 2024, during the Eurocup 3 Championship at Circuit de Montmeló, Campos Racing’s driver Christian Ho (Car No. 23), and MP Motorsport’s driver Emmo Fittipaldi (Car No. 24) were involved in a racing incident in Turn 1-2 of lap 16. Car No. 23 overtook Car No. 24 at the apex of Turn 1, forcing Car No. 24 to go off track, joining the auxiliary road and rejoining the track in front of Car No. 23.
At 18:23 CET, the Stewards issued Decision No. 17, concluding that it was a race incident and that no further action was required. Campos Racing then requested a review of CCTV and onboard footage to the Stewards who reaffirmed their initial decision.
At 19:46 CET, Campos Racing lodged an appeal before the Spanish National Court of Appeal.
On 4 December 2024, the NCA overturned the Stewards’ decision, ruling that Car No. 24’s maneuver violated Article 20.16 of the Sporting Regulations and Article 12.2.1.i of the International Sporting Code, imposing a 5-second penalty to Car No. 24.
On 11 December 2024, MP Motorsport decided to appeal the decision before the ICA.
