Preining slams DTM BoP: 'I'm close to quitting'

Former DTM champion Thomas Preining has slammed the series' Balance of Performance system after finishing ninth in Nuremberg, saying he's 'close to quitting' due to his car's 'catastrophically shit' pace.

Former DTM champion Thomas Preining, who has won three times at the Norisring, expressed frustration with the Balance of Performance (BoP) after Saturday's race in Nuremberg. The Porsche factory driver finished ninth in the event before criticizing the BoP system, stating that "this has nothing to do with sport" and that his team's pace is "catastrophically shit."

"It's zero fun," Preining added, hinting at his potential departure from the series with a mention of his "countdown to my vacation." The comments come after another challenging weekend for the Austrian driver, who has struggled to find competitive pace under the current BoP regulations. milkshakeslot.com
