For me, the DTM regulations is a failure because it's slow to implement. Besides, the problem lies with the Germans that selling the regs to the likes of Japan and USA would cope their losses, but it did little to gain revenues.

Speaking of Japan, Super GT might consider changing the top GT500 to a GT3-based car platform in the future since they can't convince the Germans to adopt their turbocharged inline-4 engines. So much for rule unification.

Now back to DPi as having the same torque, power, and everything else in the top class is like playing a sterile fighting game where you have 8 characters with equal moves. Honestly, IMSA is basically doing the same thing as ACO's LMP2 class but with manufacturer support.
