GT3 won't save DTM. Absent household-name drivers, the reason why the crowds still show up to the DTM races are the cars. With GT3, DTM will be nothing special anymore. Between ADAC GT, VLN and guest appearances by Blancpain and GT-Open one can probably catch a GT3 races every other weekend over the summer in Germany... DTM would just be yet another GT series with cars that aren't even all that interesting to watch due to driver aids and muffled sound.
If I was Berger, I'd try to get the Audis released for privateer entries in 2021 (create a second division for GT3s or GT4s or TCR-cars to fill the field) and then work on a new ruleset for spectacular yet sensibly priced cars. Maybe a V8 and RWD sedan version of NGTC.
