Partly agree, German motorsport is in a bit of crisis and that can be seen particularly when looking at different junior championships and comparing them with the British ones for example. However, arguably, more major championships in Germany have somewhat 'higher profile' to the UK ones, for example comparing ADAC GT Masters and DTM with British GT and BTCC respectively. Although that might be subjective.
Anyway, what I mostly disagree about with you, is you mention 'DTM future uncertain' and that is simply untrue. When ADAC took over DTM the main purpose was to secure DTM's future and I believe that's settled for now. Of course, perhaps we need to wait and see how things stand in 2023, 2024 but with DTM being at ADAC, it's probably GT Masters that has a bit more shaky ground underneath than DTM - at the moment at least. We'll see how the situation develops over the next two-three years.
