I don't think the DTM and Super GT are looking to combine the two series. They are just looking for common rules so DTM cars and GT500 cars can race against each other on equal footing.
This will allow Toyota to build one car, brand it Lexus and race in Germany and brand it Toyota to race in Japan. That way DTM gets its third manufacturer without actually changing its tech regulations too much. Private teams may also buy cars and race in either series.
What they could do is to have joint end of season races in markets they are interested in, like USA (California) and/or China. Super GT and DTM raced in these markets in 2004, though not really very successfully... but if they combine their resources, they could then do it properly I think.
