Do we know yet what the plans are for TV broadcasting, particularly in the UK? Will I'll fall under the F1 circus' package?

Great to see the Opel and Ford finally! And nice signings by Target, Nykjaer and Bellichi are good names for the championship.

TCR won't race in Chile this year, with the event postponed until 2016. The event will not be replaced.

No, they get dispensation for the body-shell because their VW's aren't ready yet and Seats aren't German

now we can expect other teams to ask for 'dispensation' to run coupes in future

At least it's not another Leon... There's hardly any cars around at the moment apart from the Leon, so I think it's okay that they've allowed a car that doesn't fit their rules perfectly in terms of looks. Underneath it's absolutely fine (~300hp, FWD), so why not. It's the first events for the series, a bit of variety will look good and in the future there should be a few more cars around to chose from, so no need to ask for further dispensations.

How many Fords, Hondas and Opels will be on the grid at Malaysia anyways? If they've only had the shakedown of the Focus last week, I doubt they'll have 6 of them running in less than two weeks time.

TT, Golf and Seat Leon run the exact same platform in production, so even the TT that was intended for German TT Cup (within DTM weekends) will be based on the Leon Cup Racer.

Perhaps a stupid question, but why couldn't someone have thrown a Golf shell on a Leon or TT for LiquiMoly? Surely that wouldn't take too long and could be their car sorted, or at the very least a stop gap until their new Golfs are ready?

That'd be very expensive for a temporary solution.
