I don't think, that DTM in earlier years was poorly managed. It was only big problem, that manufacturers control much of regulations and only if they are still spending lot of money will keep it alive.
That was with 90s DTM, with later Class1-ITC and also the 2000s DTM new start. As long as only manufacturer teams can enter it with huge backup, it can end with brands moving out of the series if money gets short.
Actually, i would think that drivers in DTM were mostly high class, because of the sprint format with one driver per car. Its the nearest to maximum attack.
If you look at GT Masters and even GTWC etc. there is most of the time 1 driver on the car, which is not one same level as the lead driver (but of course maybe pays the whole drive).
I hope, they can find i good solution, because i like to see again GT3-races on this level.
