I will honestly be a little surprised if a new DTM car shares anything in the body or chassis with a production car, so to me it will probably be more like the Super GT car than the Lemans GT car. Just my opinion.
Yea GT500 cars are stupid quick.

Not saying they will be similar to either DTM or SuperGT. Iīm saying they will all work together to create regulations so that the possibility of racing a car in DTM is also possible in SuperGT is possible.

I think that todays DTM cars will be a thing of the past.
They cost too much and they donīt share anything with the production model.

Thatīs the reason BMW chose not to enter. And with the new regs iīm sure the link will be much much stronger then before.
