40 minutes in during pre-season testing and we already have faster times in GT Masters - 1:36.867 by K. van der Linde compared to 1:38.193 in second qualy last year in GTM by Steijn Schothorst (fastest qualy time that weekend)

And I think there's potential for more. I understand it's very cold at the track which doesn't help in achieving super fast times and also the teams are probably sandbagging a bit.

Hopefully BOP won't be used too much and the racing is close enough not to need it. It gets too random at times. Hopefully different tyre compounds will be more key

Some Japanese team has shown their Mercedes with and without BoP recently. Pace difference was huge. Extra HP were noticeable every straight. With Michelin in DTM corners will be faster too. So, no super news here.

In 2019 Q1 hockenheim GTopen pole was 1.36.75, yesterday DTM test best time was 1.36.59... it's just about putting 2+2 together to understand why

We'll see how it looks like in the season but I think DTM's BOP gives chance for faster times than in ADAC GT.
Let alone the fact DTM has a very strong grid quality-wise, unlike ADAC GT which has a mix of professionals and amateurish drivers. Also, I prefer single driver format to ADAC GT. I enjoy watching ADAC GT but truth is driver changes in such short races is like an art for art's sake. |

Do we really care if laptimes are 1:36.xx instead of1:38.xx?
I rather see 1:42.xx AND great racing. |

Yes, hopefully DTM will provide great racing, I'm looking forward to seeing it.
Btw from Berger's words it's quite hard for me to judge if we can expect more entries or not. It's quite cryptic at the moment. |

Nope. The cars in the DTM are running with 570 - 600 hp, the 911 GT3 R has max. 520 hp. The technical director drom the ITR confirmed, that the other cars are to fast in the configuration and they don´t make them slower for one make.

Don't know... dtm gt3 cars are now using michlein and basically scored the same laptimes of gtopen in 2019, basically are the same cars using the same tires. These better performances are mainly given by michelin than else... I don't expect dtm is using unrestricted cars, likely bop is be similiar to other series, sort of AMG gt3 at about 1300-1330kg, M6 about >2bar for most of rpm range etc...

The cars have many sensors built into the tests, they were significantly heavier than the minimum weight. https://gt-place.com/2021/04/08/die-...serie-zu-sein/ |

Good news to see T3 with Lambo. Even better as they receive factory support from Lamborghini. Is it definite that they're fielding one car only?
