DTM as a brand is bigger in the world because of the old days when it was actually good and had awesome relatable cars going door handle to door handle over jumps on the Nordschleife.

GT Masters already has decent variety and 20+ cars, with some of the best GT drivers in the world, plus they have English streams you can watch for free on YouTube.

I don't see how doing basically the same thing that is already being done, but slapping the DTM name on it will somehow make it a superior product.

Biggest things GT racing specifically needs for next year to set up for a good next half decade is: GTE/GT3 convergence, SRO to get rid of their current safety car procedures, and new DTM format to impress

How silly. "I never liked this German national GT3 sprint series for some reason, so it's not important and I hope it falls so that a German national GT3 sprint series can grow."
