– First change to the Balance of Performance (BoP) at the penultimate DTM weekend at the Sachsenring: Before Sunday (all info on TV times, stream, etc.), the classification of the GT3 cars will be adjusted for six of nine brands. The Mercedes-AMG GT3, Ferrari 296 GT3 Evo, and Aston Martin Vantage GT3 Evo remain unchanged compared to the initial classification.

However, the Porsche 911 GT3 R Evo must carry 15 kilograms of ballast. For DTM leader Thomas Preining, who finished third on Saturday, an additional five kilograms of success ballast will be added to the car on Sunday during the race.
The BMW M4 GT3 Evo, which secured pole and victory on Saturday thanks to Marco Wittmann, will be made ten kilograms heavier. The two-time champion will also carry 20 kilograms of success ballast in the race. But this is not the only adjustment for the turbo powerhouse from Munich.
The boost pressure will also be reduced – in the low RPM range from 4,000 to 5,000 revolutions per minute by 0.02 bar. In the mid-range from 6,000 to 7,000 revolutions per minute, the reduction is even stronger at 0.04 bar. This will negatively affect engine performance.

For the McLaren 720S GT3 Evo of the Dörr team, which has so far not been found in the front field this weekend, ten kilograms of ballast may be removed. The same applies to the Audi R8 LMS GT3 Evo II of the guest starters from Seyffarth.
More boost pressure is given to the Lamborghini Temerario GT3: up to 6,500 revolutions it increases by 0.04 bar, from 7,000 to 8,000 revolutions by 0.03 bar.
And also for the Ford Mustang GT3 Evo, which was always outside the top 10 on Saturday, there is more engine power: the restrictor is increased from 38 millimeters to 40 millimeters in diameter. The air flow restrictor of the V8 powerhouse with the spectacular sound has never been this large in the DTM this year.
