Its not all good, but also not all bad.
Of course it was necessary, to switch to a different class and there was not much of choice.
My favourite would have been to adapt NGTC, but this was maybe nothing, that Berger could bring to german manufacturers (developing cars additionally or buy it from british teams were maybe nothing he could talk them into? Of course this was his advantage - Audi, BMW, Mercedes would contribute to the new platform, they left before as a compensation!). TCR was not appropriate (as there is TCR Germany already) and maybe not enough "premium".
I like the idea of one driver each car, so it might not end in "1 works driver, 1 slow driver to pay for". And of course i think the drivers are very strong already.
I would not judge after one race weekend, especially this racetrack might not bring real close racing. Maybe next race will be better. Crucial will be, to get the BoP close.
I believe, the name of DTM is most valuable thing, as it is better known all around the world. Sometimes i am confused from GTWC etc. as i am not so familiar with it. Maybe they changed it too often in past.
