Otherwise dtm would be competing and possibly taking those things away from the new USCR which doesn't make much sense.

But a North American DTM emphatically WOULD compete with the new USCR. The budgets to run DTM or a GT/prototype are relatively the same (and similar to IndyCar, and the Nascar Nationwide Series). These series would DIRECTLY compete for entries and sponsorship dollars. Hence the reason I think this is a colossally stupid idea which makes little or no sense. Unless the German manufacturers plan to pay for literally everything, I can't see where people are looking to get an ROI on this, because there doesn't appear to be any.
