Will the DTM’s BoP be a setback for BMW in Oschersleben?

Last year, SRO Head of Engineering Claude Surmont, who is responsible for the Balance of Performance (BoP) in the DTM, showed that he is not afraid to get a grip on cars like the Porsche 911 GT3 R via the ride height in 2024. This left the Manthey team's heads spinning and made for a tough season after the DTM title in 2023.

A similar scenario is looming for the BMW M4 GT3 ahead of the opener in Oschersleben. As the first DTM BoP of the year shows, the new Evo model has to make do with a significantly less favourable ground clearance at the front and rear axle compared to its predecessor, while the values for the other cars remain the same.
