I wonder if Pascal stays in DTM, that Ocon will be send in GP2. But they must have some plans if Pascal stays put in DTM. Then if Ocon is sent in GP2, what target Mercedes will set for him considering he had no post season testing in GP2 in 2015 and he is lacking a bit of experience compared to other title contender. Seems like a big trap for Ocon if he goes to GP2. |

And Ocon has already said he'd prefer the DTM.

A night race in the DTM: an unlikely possibility

They did do night qualifying in 2003 at the Nurburgring and it was supposed to be great entertainment. That said they shouldn't concentrate on floodlighting the whole circuit. They should do it like the BTCC, have it lit some places, let the car's lights do the rest

Agreed - if you're going to floodlight the whole circuit just run in daytime - what's the point of a night race that's not actually in the dark?

Ocon is at AMG right now.
Pretty sure he will be doing a seat fit tomorrow. |

I'm not so sure - there's a serious conflict of interests there. Paffet has signed as Williams simulator driver for this year - no conflict of interest there as Williams are Mercedes powered. Paffet left McLaren when they got the Honda engines so I can't see Ocon being allowed to race in a Renault powered F1 car and then drive a Mercedes in DTM.

F1 has a night race so it would be logical if DTM has also a night race.

Norisring would be ideal for a night race. The track isn't too large, too complex, so you won't need that many floodlights at the track. Besides, a saturday evening race would be good for publicity and ratings.

And it's in a city (even if slightly on the outskirts), so there's bound to be a bunch of people that'd complain about the noise.

Do you have new information? Last I heard, Wehrlein's chances of an F1 seat were looking slim.
