But as mentioned STW rode the Super Touring wave - lots of top line cars and drivers. After the collapse of DTM/ITC it was a good replacement, then the 'new' DTM replaced STW - and the quality of the drivers has always been good in DTM (there have been a few duds too of course). Now though there's nothing obvious to fill the DTM sized gap.
