Paffett BMW won manufacturers' title with worst car

Mercedes driver Gary Paffett reckoned BMW took the producers' title despite having the "worst auto" of the three DTM marques in 2015.
Paffett employed BMW's title as an illustration of how the recently-introduced functionality weights method skewed the outcomes earlier this time.
"Operation weights really are a huge issue [of discourse]," he mentioned to Motorsport.com. "No offence to BMW, however they won the constructors' championship using the worst automobile this yr - therefore, you know, it can not actually tell the complete narrative."
BMW sat last in the producers' tournament when the fat ballast was released by promoter ITR.
On the remaining seven rounds, the typical weight of a BMW automobile stood at 1109.6kg, nicely below the base weight of 1120kg. Mercedes, meanwhile, clocked in a mean of 1123.8kg, while Audi topped the list at 1127.2kg.
BMW scored 52% of its own season factors haul in only 2 of the rounds - Zandvoort and Oschersleben, where the majority of the marque's automobiles weighed the minimum permitted 1105kg.
But while saying functionality weights played a large function in determining the constructors' crown, Paffett insisted the drivers' championship, won by team-mate Pascal Wehrlein was much more representative.
"The motorists' tournament does tell the entire story," he added. "The man who won it - Pascal - did the greatest job of everybody else all-year.
"The men in second and third - Jamie [Green] and Eki [Mattias Ekstrom] also did an excellent job - the drivers' championship is more important I believe.
DTMDA to suggest rule changes
Paffett is determined that DTM's Driver Association shoud perform part in just about any alterations designed to the DTM rule-book for 2016.
"As motorists, we all know that which we would like," mentioned the Briton. "Additionally, the drivers do believe we've a great idea about what enhances the show for lovers and things like this. The drivers think that is that which we want.
"[DTM] wants to get exciting racing, it should be enjoyment for the lovers to see - but it nevertheless must get the greatest driver in the most effective team winning the race and this is the the the total amount we want. To possess the most effective man winning nevertheless, while offering the lovers delight.
"A few points that could do with being ironed out. There is a couple of things that fans and things drivers happen to be focusing on.
"Now we must discuss to the DMSB and ITR and make an effort to get our points across - and attempt to make some adjustments. Comparatively little matters."
