There's no 'issue'.
The teams weren't forced to buy a DSG car, they chose to. They would've been very naive to think that there'd be no disadvantage in performance, compared to a sequential car. They can convert them to sequential with an upgrade kit from Audisport if they want to.
Having said that, there's a Curpa DSG running at the pointy end of TCR Italy, which is considered a very competitive championship. In short; work harder, or spend the money.
For my mind, PWC TCR races are too long. They're neither exciting, nor engaging enough. Use the format other TCR championships use, 25min-ish races, invert the top 10 quali positions for race 2, et voila. And combine TCA with TC instead.
