Do you prefer DTM to GTWCE for example? For me I think now it's more down to which circuit they're at than the championship.

Well, if I were to compare the GT3 DTM with the pre-GT3 era then of course I'd take the latter. Part of me has a hope hidden somewhere that eventually DTM will ditch GT3 regulations to move to something 'unique.' Having said that, I must admit there are still some aspects that are better now that in the "pre-GT3" era, although yeah, the whole appeal of the championship has changed a lot.
But my comparison in the previous post was about DTM now, under ADAC versus the GT3 DTM under ITR. When comparing two GT3 DTM 'eras', there's something a lot better about the ADAC DTM. Probably can't explain it fully but that's just the 'feel' of things.
As for DTM vs GTWC, I definitely prefer the former. GTWC is kind of divided between sprint and endurance, lots of different drivers across the season, etc. In the DTM at least I know "who the drivers are" + I prefer the single driver format.
