In many ways Supercars is like that era of DTM when there was some aero but not like we have today, the cars are powerful and have some grip and aero but move around a lot.

Its a shame DTM probably wont go back to those days though.
I agree it is a shame. It seems that with the desire to show off the technology the racing side of it has been lost.

It is almost no exaggeration to suggest there was more overtaking in the Sunday Supercar race at Ipswich than in the entire season of DTM to date.
