Yeah DTM is not that exciting most of the time. As fast as the cars are, the fact they ran DRS shows the cars have too much aero to allow overtaking. With Mercedes pulling out maybe its a prelude to less aero dependant cars like in the early 2000s when the series threw up some really good racing.

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.
