    I do have WTCC 2016 and I agree, they are amazing to drive and I do prefer them to the previous seasons. Some of my favorite FWD cars in simracing at the moment :)

    The models would need to be redone, there were aerodynamic updates and new rear wings. Apart from that, I don't think the work required is the problem, but rather the license costs compared to what they can earn with it.

    That's we all thought, until this came out of the blue:

    Note how all the liveries available in that competition are missing all DTM-specific logos. ;)

    I haven't noted, as I am too slow to participate in such competitions, they are for the same select few anyway.

    But this raises several questions:
    - will these cars ever make it into the single player line up?
    - are the BMW and Audi at a same stage behind the scenes?
    - will they be released and if yes, as "DTMR 17" or "RTM 17"?
    Questions, questions everywhere ;)

    Didn't some say recreating DTM woudl be a waste of resources? Well, having the cars finished and not releasing them to sell them and earn money with them, that is what I would call wasted resources. The AMG deal must be pretty attractive :)

    Rumours say DTM is considering becoming a true international series either by taking WTCC's place in the roster as a 'Class 1 World Cup' and/or by fusing with the Japanese Super GT series eventually which would add three Japanese premium brands to the series (Honda/Toyota (Lexus)/Nissan). I know the joint regulations are getting delayed from time to time and probably Germans might have more inside info regarding this matter, but that's what I've read and heard from sources inside the WTCC paddock, these are real possibilities.

    I have read about the first scenario as well, but it brings back bad memories of the ill-fated ITC. If they will internationalize, I hope they have learned from the past.
    Personally I would rather like to see a national series of real (high end) touring cars with guest starts in neighbouring countries.

    I've read about this but it was in 2015 and since then they have delayed/cancelled the merge until 2019 or I don't know when. It would be cool to see happen.

    If I had the choice I would prefer a DTM 1994 or ITC 1995 over 2017 any time. ;)

    I still don't all the cars in the game. And quite honestly don't really need more. I started to make a serious effort to work with all the ones I currently have about 8 months ago. And I haven't even made it half way yet. I keep having too much fun with each one trying them out on various tracks.

    For me personally I'd much rather see some other content brought in and finished, to help bring this game out of beta.

    Particularly, better physics on the GTX's, 1's and 2's. for starters.:cool:

    That is a nice example of how different personal preferences are. I for one don't care for GTX, GTR1, most of the open wheelers, the hillclimb things and end up driving the same classes. These mostly are Touring classics, DTM 92, GTR3 (though I am tired of driving obsolete models) and WTCC. So I really appreciate any new car class ;)

    Do you realize I was defending DTM there? I said the same thing as 'the guys from DTM', so even if your post meant to be sarcastic, it still makes no sense to me, sorry.
