Also, that would end the rivalry between ADAC and DTM which wasn't good for neither. So, in theory a lot of good things can happen. But will it happen? That remains to be seen.
Allegedly, ADAC's Board of Directors is meeting tomorrow, perhaps some news will be there..

The more I think on it, the more I like the idea of a DTM ADAC merger.
Take the best of both series.
DTM does all PRO 20-25 car 50-60min races
GT Masters is for the Pro-Am and Am, Silver etc pairings
ADAC GT4 combines the strong ADAC GT4 grid with whatever is left of DTM trophy
TCR Germany and ADAC F4 get chucked in there to to it all off..
That is a very very compelling race weekend, that alleviates the European GT racing scene a touch for the better
If DTM and Gt Masters raced on the same weekend, you get all the factory drivers in the same place for the weekend. Maybe they do 2x 50 min races in te DTM pro series, then support an AM driver in a pair of 60min races, or even 120-180min races like the British GT does.
Best of both worlds...
Im sure it wont end up as idyllic as that though, probably we will see Gt Masters and DTM merged into one pair of 60min races per weekend, essentially as the ADAC GT masters is now, but without the DTM as competition.
