Grid figures won't be the problem this year, as they'll integrate a dozen or more cars from the defunct Mini-Challenge into their field. Quality is of course another matter.

Best years were, when it was named DTC (Deutscher Tourenwagen Cup), with a lot of BMW M3 E30, Ford Sierra Cosworth and maybe also Nissan Skyline. The Grids were full, the look of the cars were not very far away from them of the higher DTM, and there were also a lot of good driver names and also young talents. Maybe some kind of WTCC for Germany only.
As far as i remember, there were only one other cars group on the grid.

Wasn't it called Deutsche Tourenwagen Trophäe back then?
Also, the M3s were in the under 2.5l class, whereas the Sierras and Skylines were in the class above. There also was a third division - dominated by the Opel Kadetts- that normally ran separate races.
