I disagree. This makes perfect sense. BMW, Audi and Mercedes are the largest premium car brands in the world. What better than to run series showcasing 'suped up versions' of their cars in their three biggest markets - US, Germany and Japan. Indycar, sports cars or even F1 bear no relation whatsoever to the road going output of manufacturers... at least DTM looks somewhat like them. DTM is massively successful in Germany and if these additional series even garner a fraction of the attention in the US and Japan, they'll have made sense.
