Sorry if it's a repost, I searched.

DTM, brought to you by....... NASCAR?! ....:blink:

It's true.

It's official, Grand-Am and NASCAR will partner to bring a 12 race, U.S. based Deutsche Tourenwagen Meisterschaft (DTM) series to the states starting in 2013. The decision to pair the DTM series with Grand-Am and NASCAR makes more sense than you might think. NASCAR events draw huge crowds and the potential overlap would mean additional promotion for both the DTM series and NASCAR.

Now the real question: where will the new series find its drivers? Well, according to our sources, the U.S. based DTM series (which will consist of all three major German automakers: Mercedes-Benz, Audi and BMW) will be made up of 'satellite' teams supported by the German operations. That said, there are possibilities however for American drivers to get into DTM cars, with both NASCAR and Grand-Am racers being taken into consideration

About damn time. This should mean more DTM coverage here in America, which is what I've been wanting for years.

Looking at the schedules for next year (mind you, most likely to change in one way or another in the next two years), all 12 races could be Grand-Am support races, with 2 of those coming on weekends where Nascar is also at the track.

I hope it takes off and finds a good following.
 
Fuck yeah.
 
No no, it's

Well, DTM should be boring enough to appease the NASCAR crowd...
 
This doesn't make any sense, it's not DTM if it's not the real DTM series, sorry.

Oh, and saying "Grand Am and NASCAR will partner....." is an oxymoron 'cause they're owned by the same people.
