I'd be cautious with a 'universal Class One format'. According to the article, Japanese still want to alter the regulations a bit so that it would suit Super GT more. They don't want exactly the same regulations, they'd like to have some freedom, especially in regard of aerodynamics. It doesn't bode well and I don't think any of the three Super GT manufacturers have any interest in fielding their teams in DTM. So, all in all, the exhibition races of both series have practically nothing to do with DTM's prospect for future. Even with almost-unified Class One regulations, the DTM is rather unlikely to get any new manufacturer. Class One does not seem to be affordable for private teams either.
