Although the thought is interesting, I've never been a firm believer. Primarily because GA doesn't seem to thrive in scenarios requiring cooperation.
With the likelihood of GT3 chassis (or some *******ised variant) becoming eligible for GrandAm competition next year, one would assume the adoption of DTM rules would be of little significance to manufacturers with GT3 chassis already available.
After all, Audi, Mercedes, and BMW have GT3 chassis available, and with a likelihood of potential categories in both the US and Japan for 2011, I don't see why the DTM merger is necessary (from GA's perspective).
If the move is successful it could have far reaching ramifications.
The ALMS may as well farewell any chance of future Audi (although that's a foregone conclusion) or BMW participation.
