That struggle to survive technically and build a career as a driver is now highlighted which gives meaning to the play on the stage.
Now people who would not normally attend the GP to watch a play, now understand the meaning and struggle behind it.
That struggle and battle is now comprehended.
That is what DTS has done to give meaning to the play, which is often not that entertaining if you don't have a context to give it meaning.

A Brilliant summation of the effect of DTS
DTS also puts on show to the technical background and the "politics" to those of us with an interest in what goes on behind the scenes (even if it is edited to entertain rather than inform).
