DTM weight rules changed for final round
The DMSB has altered the way weights are applied for the last round, to ensure Audi don't take any advantage from having withdrawn from the event.
Lap 46's positions have been used to define the weights which means the base weights for Hockenheim are:
Sounds like someone's trying to wind Audi up don't you think? Source: http://dtm.com/newsausgabe.php?id=6303 |

Can you tell me, why? Audi isn't FWD hatchback like Seat in WTCC.

So are the Audis 5kg heavier than they would have been? Audi won't get the benefit of those lost positions, but Mercedes got the benefit of them withdrawing! Although, to be fair, the benefit was small as they were going to win anyway and the Audi title challengers were out. They should have gone with the result as it was. This no worse than trying to grab eighth in WTCC. A couple of years back someone retired with the sole purpose of losing weight (or not gaining it) in Super GT IIRC. |

Audi shouldn't be exempt just because they had a hissy fit.
Although I probably shouldn't debate this any further as ballast regulations confuse me. |

Another mess for the DTM. It's a shame, it used to be good back in the Larini/Nannini Alfa days. But this year the racing's usually been poor, team orders have been rife and I've lost almost all interest in it.
