- TCR (if they still exist in Germany after 2022
- maybe some one-make-race-series (BMW M2 Cup etc.)


DTM with GT3 proved to be successful and interesting for race teams, as a lot of them trying to get into the series.
Even if they make their money elsewhere (GT Masters, IGTC). Maybe DTM is a good showcase for their abilities.
Probably this.

But if GT Masters becomes a 2nd tier series does that harm the series? E.g. less interest from sponsors and pro-drivers?

If they lose single seaters and touring cars the format becomes one sided, not much diversity. Having no single seaters is shameful for a country like Germany.

Never understood why DTM (10 years ago or so) didn't adopt technical rules of V8 Supercars or a more powerfull and RWD only variant of BTCC.
