Berger has recently admitted there are two ways for DTM - GT3 or extinction.
What's interesting, Audi would be willing to stay in GT3-DTM and from what I understand, ITR is waiting for BMW's approach to things. If both Audi and BMW are willing to take part in GT3-DTM and therefore attract their GT3 customer teams (plus teams already racing in DTM) the championship should be quite safe. Theoretically, such a ruleset could lure R-Motorsport or AMG customer teams back, maybe some Porsche teams as well.
The question that still remains - and there is still no clear answer - is how will it be possible to have DTM with GT3 cars and the biggest GT3 championship in the world (ADAC GT) in one country? The idea to make DTM more supported by manufacturers, with sort of GT3+ cars and all professional and non-pay drivers is good on paper. Add to it the fact that DTM would still be touring car-ish in a sense that they wouldn't change drivers and stuff and we have quite a logical division. But the problem is, Berger won't attract manufacturers to do something more with their already existing GT3 cars.
I'm a bit concerned especially given the fact that Berger himself doesn't seem as optimistic and driven as he used to be...
