Could limiting the Balance of Performance (BoP) to just one adjustment per race weekend be the solution for the DTM? This is exactly what the Manthey team has proposed as part of a dossier spanning over 30 pages, aimed at improving the DTM’s classification system in the future. Until now, three - sometimes significant - BoP changes per weekend have often been the norm in the DTM.
"The goal is to have a more consistent BoP over the course of the season. With fewer changes, because we believe it is still a sport," explains Manthey’s Racing Director, Patrick Arkenau, in an interview with Motorsport-Total.com. "If we try to create the perfect BoP for every single day and after every session, we will always be playing catch-up."
