I think that is the deal I've been questioning about this American DTM, where does the money come from?

DTM costs manufacturers around $30 million each or more in Germany, so will Mercedes USA or Audi USA spend 10, 20, 30 million bucks a season? Maybe, maybe not, but it's probably a question people need to be asking.
