That's also a problem. DTM lacks support series at the moment. A few years ago, it was F3 Euro Series, the Porsche Cup, the Seat Leon Supercopa, the VW Lupo Cup and one or two other support series, depending on the track. Now, it's just F3 and Porsche Cup, because VW has retired the Scirocco-R Cup after four season. I don't know if there will be another German Leon Cup, so this leaves us with two support series. Of course Mercedes, Audi and BMW could each start a support series on their own, but I guess the money's lacking.
On the other hand, the German Motorcycle Championship will race with DTM together at the Lausitzring. Maybe that could help to draw more people to the Lausitz.
