Some interesting articles about a possible ADAC purchase of DTM floating round today, some more fancifully fleshed out than others.
Taking the consideration of how real the rumour is, it is an interesting topic.
I can see why ADAC could benefit from controlling DTM. The DTM has real strong PRO focused entries, and a next to capacity grid. ADAC has been struggling the last few years comparatively, and the threat of a strong GTWC, even GT Open remains.
A potential format that would make sense to me would be as follows:
ADAC DTM: Single Driver PRO series
ADAC GT: Dual Driver Pro-Am, Young Talent series
ADAC GT4: Dual Driver GT4 series
ADAC TCR: The existing TCR series
Dont know if those would all fit on the same weekend
It would also fix the feeder series a little bit. ADAC GT4 and DTM Trophy are both on the low sit for grid counts, a merger there would be quite beneficial.
