So why won't Red Bull open their own DTM team? Why not go even further? Red Bull has a partnership with Infiniti and thus with Nissan. Why shouldn't Red Bull bring some Nissan GT-Rs to DTM? I know they have 2.0l R4 turbos in SuperGT, but it's not the most difficult thing in the world to put a 4.0l V8 engine into the GT-R. I mean, with Red Bull putting so much money into F1 and their bazillion football clubs, they surely can afford DTM, right? I could see a Red Bull-Nissam DTM squad consisting of Sainz Jr., da Costa, Ekström (Since Red Bull sponsors him and his car) and maybe Vergne or some other driver that is affiliated with Red Bull.

Why would Red Bull promote Nissan/Infiniti/Renault?
They are not exclusive bonded to them and have also good relationship with VAG and PSA.
