I'd put VLN ahead of DTM as well. I don't think the world needs another GT3 series.

100% agree with that.

True. The DTM sucks, really hard. Arrogant f***** on the charge in this Series. Nobody need this, they Destroy their good name from the 80s and 90s.

Wouldn't GT2 have been decent for DTM? Cars aren't that expensive, look more fun to drive? Wouldn't that have made sense?

Kubica unlikely to stay for DTM's move to GT3 cars

Interesting point of view. Wouldn't mind seeing him in LMP2, but doing the NLS would be good for the series exposure which is good too.

Let's face it, Kubica was lured to DTM only because it 'resembles' F1. He can't and will not get over the fact a longer F1 career was not meant for him (not surprising at all) and he just seeks similar experiences. It's a shame he can't settle for one championship (DTM would be great for that) to make a second, hopefully successful career-after-career. Something Nannini did for example. Trying everything for a year or two is not a particularly great idea, however, of course it's for him and only him to decide

Unmodified, standard spec GT3s.

how original...(*sarc). ADAC GT Masters will no doubt be the biggest victim of this. Not my favorite GT series anyway though so lets see how this goes. And maybe they will come up with something enhanced in 2022.

Honestly don't know because ADAC GT is still mainly a pro-am series, while this DTM should be more pro focused, even if I think it's unlikely manufacturers will put a lof of effort on it... at the same time it's extremely unlikely as well private teams would grid a pro line-up without manufacturers support.

So the big question remains: who is going to pay for all this?

The manufacturers? Unlikely, I'd think?
The pro driver? No way!
The Am driver? Oops no, he isn't there...
The teams?

What a farce. I maintain with the way things are going their best best would be told create something of a stop-gap ready for that HYDRAZE League that came out of the German motorsports world, but then they announce DTM Electric so I have no idea what their intentions are anymore. I suppose the idea is to entice manufacturers back in with electric cars etc, but are the German giants going to invest in DTM Electric if they already have solid Formula E teams?

tux · 7 Nov 2020, 18:56 (Ref:4015382)

Whole thing seems pointless imo. We have loads of GT3 series offering pretty much the same (minus single driver races). Why do we need yet another that is competing against the others for entries?
