From what I make out, the coverage will be highlights, yet it is good news for us freeview viewers.

The only 2 main problems that I can think of are:

1) Will it be watched by anyone? (Who in Britain knows of DTM. I'm guessing not much)
2) Will the showings be at ridiculous times like 4am or something?

Obviously, in recent years, the DTM has been a borefest with just 2 manufacturers and way too many aero parts, yet with BMW returning and maybe more to come(?) I'm hoping it can be a success.
It will only be a highlights package I suspect as ESPN have the rights to the live coverage, but yes I will be watching. Well done the ITV4.
