Front subframe of his Kronos Racing Peugeot 207 S2000 underweight.

Meeke's victory had been declared provisional following post-event scrutineering last weekend, but a final decision was delayed until today as initial re-weighing of the component in question proved inconclusive. Following tests at a government Weights and Measures office rally stewards have ruled that the part was underweight and have excluded the car of Meeke/Paul Nagle.

"After due deliberation the stewards noted that Peugeot UK and Peugeot Sport admitted lack of control in the manufacture of this subframe," read an official statement. "The stewards also recognised that there was no fraudulent intent on behalf of the entrant or manufacturer."

Skoda's Guy Wilks has been handed the win, although Peugeot may appeal.
