Speed is an odd one. People go on about it, and it's right that we expect our race cars to outperform their street counterparts. But ask the public to watch two cars 4 seconds apart over a few kms, and they'd be hard put to spot the difference. And all that speed comes at a cost.
On top of which, speed does not necessarily equate to great racing. In fact the opposite is often true. Over the years some of the best racing I've watched involve 2CVs, MG Midgets, original style Minis... None of which can be described as fast but all of which were hugely entertaining. DTM is certainly very quick, but good racing? Generally not.
