Aren't they follow the same BoP as Blancpain series(i.e. The official FIA one)?

No of course no. The ADAC is using their own Balance of Performance. Last year the Alpina B6 was strongly penalized, this year it was the case of the R8 LMS ultra.

Yeah, but the Audis got well and truly stuffed everywhere last year - they had absolutely no chance at Spa. Hard to be sympathetic after years of them crying 'wolf', but was probably the harshest I've seen BoP hit since GT3 began.

In my opinion the 2013 R8 LMS ultra strenght had to be the great aero package. Unfortunately FIA didn't homologate the giant rear diffuser, so the car ran with less and unbalanced downforce (because of the missing giant diffuser) than expected and with too much drag given by the giant rear wing + the lack of power because of restrictors size.

Good point. I never really understood GT3 manufacturers striving for more down force; seems a little counterproductive to have a car that produces too much downforce when that inevitably means it will be a pig in a straight line.
Unfortunately. |

high down force = fast PROs; low down force = fast amateurs Thinking about the way Audi designed the 2013 package it might tell a lot about their strategy But for the non SUPER professional teams the BoP was the nail in the coffin for 2013. |

Yes, and given by the fact that 2014 GT3 models can't receive big updates because of freezing development, I don't know how much the R8 could be more competitive than 2013 if FIA will keep on banning the original diffuser. Audi sport surely will "kindly" ask to SRO a favourable bop for this season, something like 1275-1290kg and 2x50mm (last year restrictors for almost all the season was 2x44mm)

I still can't understand why ADAC GT adopted an entry list cap while teams like callaway, abt or farnbacher are still allowed to sign with 3 or more cars... 2012 season was fantastic! limitless entry list and around 40 cars at each race

No, not really. But it's a German series and Germans tend to not get overly creative with such things... Also back when there was a GTC-like secondary class for Porsche Cup (and in theory Ferrari Challenge) cars, those were mandated to have numbers above 40, so all the GT3s would have something lower.
