Team Dynamik has expressed its disappointment after Australian motorsport authority CAMS found the team guilty of breaching strict V8 Supercar series regulations relating to testing.

After an exhaustive inquiry over two days of the Sandown meeting, Stewards made a finding against Team Dynamik in relation to four charges of breaches to the V8 Supercar Rules.

The Stewards imposed a penalty of $50,000 USD (approximately $72,000 AUD) with regards to breaches of V8 Supercar testing regulations and a further penalty of $32,000 AUD in relation to other related breaches.

The team immediately lodged an appeal in relation to all charges, linked to a test session alleged to have taken place at a South Australian airstrip, and the penalties imposed.

However, Team Dynamik deny that they were involved in any testing and say that the vehicle concerned was in the possession of a third party completing a scientific evaluation for purposes other than racing.

Team principal Kieran Wills is disappointed that any charges were upheld in the circumstances of the alleged conduct.

"We simply do not agree or accept that Team Dynamik was engaged in any illegal testing for racing purposes," he said. "A third party, and not Team Dynamik, was engaged in developing intellectual property for commercial purposes outside of motor racing which could have considerable benefits, both economically and environmentally, for the Australian public. The technology being assessed at Woomera is a product that will benefit motorists and transport operators in Australia.

"It is significant that the stewards found that there was a desire by Team Dynamik not to breach the rules. This Inquiry reflects a serious weakness and deficiency in the current judicial rules under the AVESCO operations manual which requires a total review in the interests of the sport.

"I have been personally disappointed with various press releases and public comment by senior officials of AVESCO and TEGA over the past weeks prior to any hearing by the stewards, which I feel is unfair and unsportsmanlike. The hearings have at last given us an opportunity to put our case.

"I would also like to personally state my total faith and confidence in Race Director Oscar Fiorinotto and the Team Dynamik drivers and personnel."

Wills said Team Dynamik was keen to move on in the best interests of motorsport, with the two TD cars due to start from 24th and 27th on the grid for this weekends Betta Electrical Sandown 500.

An appeal date has yet to be confirmed.
