Formula E team DS Penske is facing a fine of €25,000 and had both its drivers penalized after discovering that the team had installed illegal Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) scanning equipment at the pitlane entrance before a practice session at the Portland E-Prix.
FIA Stewards (the sport's governing body) told The Verge in a statement that it's against the rules for "competitors to install or place any equipment in the pit lane." The FIA also said that the data collected by this equipment would give the competitor a "huge and unfair advantage."
