Interesting thread on Autosport site https://www.autosport.com/national/news/father-and-son-mazda-mx-5-racers-banned-after-abhorrent-behaviour/10547077/
It may be behind a paywall, but hopefully visitors can read it if they don't regularly trawl for free.
Gist of the article in the sub-heading:
Father-and-son Mazda MX-5 drivers Jason and Callum Greatrex have been banned from racing following a National Court disciplinary hearing that examined several incidents at an ill-tempered September Donington Park meeting.
The bit that surprised me was “The court accepts that his actions in kicking Foden’s car were entirely out of character,” said Scott Andrews. “The court accepts his apology and genuine sense of contrition, especially after so many years of participation in and contribution to motorsport.”
Really?! You behave like a proper sh!t just this once!? Pull the other one
I remember a Mini driver being penalised for a hissy fit in the 1972(?) Dulux Rally, but that is all I can think of here but I'll bet there are others.
Only nice people race MX5s?

Yeah, it's only the odd scrutineer who behaves badly in NSW, in my experience. ;)
