Easy to say, but so far I haven't seen any of those manufacturers budge. For this series to happen things need to start rolling this year and for it to be success, manufacturers are going to have to open up the wallet with big money.

We already have ALMS, Grand AM and a plethora of semi pro touring car type series. So you just can't start up something called Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters USA and then expect people to flood through the gates. It's going to take a lot of promotion and factory support to pull this off. Once that happens I'll be more confident this will be a success or even happen to start with.
