Maybe not now it's "just another GT3 championship". The previous incarnation of DTM was excellent - I went every year it was at Brands Hatch (also saw it at Donington). It was worth going to because the cars were spectacular - looked good, sounded good - it was a truly immersive experience. The racing wasn't BTCC door banging stuff but the spectacle of 20 of those cars hurtling around made it an event worth going to. The lap time difference between the DTM cars and GT3 cars was impressive - it wasn't even close.

The current incarnation of the DTM is really just a shadow of what it was.
