W2Motorsport should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid

NGTC works because of the range of cars that can be eligible, and already has RWD saloons competing.
The engine regulations permit standard production units, or a leased series-specific unit.

Would enough entrants want to develop their own V8 for such a series? And if there was a series-specific V8, would people be interested in it?
I still think making it a spec series with cars based on the current cars would be way to go. If they can get it to the point of costing 400k euros +/- I think that would work and keep the series similar to what it is today. I'd hate to see DTM become a GT3 series there is already GT Masters.

Someone mentioned GTE, if it were to come to that it would be a better option than GT3 I think but still would like to see something more raw. Also only two German manufacturers produce GTE cars (BMW/Porsche).
