The No. 38 ST Racing BMW M4 GT3 has lost its victory in Sunday’s Fanatec GT World Challenge America powered by AWS round at Sebring International Raceway due to the car being found “non-compliant” at impound by scrutineers following the race.

It has handed the overall win to the No. 45 Wright Motorsports Porsche 911 GT3 R of Madison Snow and Jay Heylen, who now sweep the weekend at Sebring.

The team’s No. 120 Porsche of Elliott Skeer and Adam Adelson, meanwhile, now pick up Pro-Am class honors as a result of the infringement, marking a double sweep for the Ohio-based team.

The ruling came after podium ceremonies Sunday afternoon at Sebring, which saw a commanding run by the ST Racing entry that started from the rear of the 14-car field due to a technical infraction in qualifying.

Per the stewards, the car now finishes last in class and has lost all points associated with the second race of the weekend.

RESULTS: Race 2 (Updated)
