DTM at the Sachsenring / DTM BoP (Vehicle Classification)

BoP (Balance of Performance)

The DTM (Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters) is a touring car racing series that has been held in Germany since 1984. The series is one of the most popular in Europe, and it features some of the world's best drivers and teams. In order to ensure that the racing is fair and competitive, the DTM uses a system called BoP (Balance of Performance). BoP is a set of regulations that are designed to equalize the performance of the different cars in the series.

BoP is based on a number of factors, including the car's weight, power, and aerodynamics. The DTM technical staff uses a computer simulation to determine the BoP for each car. The simulation takes into account the car's performance at different tracks and under different conditions. Once the BoP has been determined, the teams are required to make modifications to their cars in order to comply with the regulations.

BoP is a controversial topic in the DTM. Some teams argue that it is unfair to penalize the cars that are faster and more powerful. However, the DTM believes that BoP is necessary to ensure that the racing is fair and competitive. BoP has been used in the DTM since 2013, and it has been credited with helping to make the series more exciting and unpredictable.
