Balance Of Performance
In sports car racing, balance of performance (BoP) is a regulation and mechanism that maintains parity between competing vehicles by adjusting the limits and parameters of a vehicle such as horsepower, weight, engine management, and aerodynamics to prevent a single manufacturer from becoming dominant in a racing class or series. History The origin of the term "balance of performance" dates back to the creation of Group GT3 in 2005 for the 2006 racing season, using experience learned from the homologation special phenomenon in previous GT classes.

The system was later adopted for other production-based racing catego ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
