Yeah, maybe. But the Australians who thought that are the last people to listen to.

Like supercars in Australia, the spectacle, "visual and aural appeal", of DTM is overstated.
If there are common characteristics between German and Australian domestic motorsport. Then I'd say Germans might want to tone down the contemptuous attitude towards 2 litre, fwd cars. I suspect it's the reason the DTM is in a hole.
