The DTM has a much stronger grid.
No way. You switch cause and effect: For the first time in a long period, a significant talent pool is accessible. Ofc. DTM had good drivers before, but most of them became GT/Sportscars involved well before already. Or kind of (were) stepped down to DTM.

I guess one needs to look at the bigger sportscar picture: Me personally thinks this (DTM) is just a useful opportunity for idling the ramped up capactiy of big teams and the much bigger works driver rosters compared to some years ago. I suspect many actually aim at LMDh/LMH time come or at least some form GTD-Pro kind of development in ACO.
