Question About Zakspeed Capri In DRM

[AngeloUccello]

I’m currently researching the old Zakspeed Ford Capri, and have hit a confusing snag that Google can’t seem to answer. Apparently, the Zakspeed Capri won the DRM outright in 1981 at the hands of Klaus Ludwig - despite being a Division 2 car. Yes, it won 11 out of the 13 races in Division 2, but as far as I can tell, it didn’t beat the faster Division 1 cars in the actual races. Yet the Zakspeed Capri was still crowned overall champion. What information am I missing here that can explain why this is the case? Thanks

Points awarded for more class wins in lower class out scores winner of races outright who probably had less class wins.

It can happen in any race series with multiple classes scoring same points.

Thanks a lot for that . I had suspected something similar; just wanted to confirm it. Thanks again
