Also, there should be an ADAC 300km Nordschleife Masters, featuring DTM, Super GT and Carrera Cup, with two drivers per car.
I don't think Spa is needed, Belgium has got to be a very small market share.
While I would love a race at Donington, I don't think a British race is needed either - nothing to do with market share size for the manufacturers, more to do with DTM having such a small portion of the 'British racing fan market'.
France and Italy are similar size markets to the UK, but I don't see why a round in Italy would be especially beneficial.
France? Yeah, why not, I'd go for that. Not sure Le Mans is the right place though.

Market is pretty small in Czech Republic, but I'd still like a Brno round!

Having said all that, Bramzel is ultimately right about the 'D' in DTM.
