Problem with DTM is big thirsty massively powerful cars are not in fitting with todays world, or at least todays Europe.
How much longer will BMW and Mercedes stick around? Audi has gone away to play electric, BMW has previously said Formula E is an objective when the technology allows a car to run race distance. At the rate of current battery development I'd say we're getting close to that.
Will Mercedes stay in a one make series? Can't see it.
Will we end up with grids full of private teams running ex works cars?

Mercedes has already left DTM they withdraw at the end of 2018. Its BMW and Audi that remain.
