Can't wait to hear your reasoning behind this statement.Quote:

Maybe you don't know but live DTM millions of people are watching on TV and that' why they are there.
There's some utter rubbish being posted here about the DTM, in my view. The racing has generally become utterly tedious — a DTM race is the only sporting event I've ever left before the end out of sheer boredom — but no-one can doubt that the cars are pretty serious machinery, and that it has a huge following in Germany. These factors alone are surely sufficient grounds for BMW to justify its entry. I'm surprised it's been gone from the DTM for so long.
yes they do...its a German racing series... that is enough for those manufacturers...Quote:
