The DTM has all the big names and top manufacture's. The V8 star has limited TV coverage and a coupleof big names and how much do we see of the DTC?

I don't see much the three new touring series .... the new DTM is the better of these three .. but I think the STW was better ... cars close to the road car ...

Jimeth · 31 Jul 2002, 10:46 (Ref:347026)

yeah the old STW was the best, does anyone else remember when they used to show some of it on EuroSport? It was good that.

I see all three championships on MotorsTV, and apart from the rubbish US/Euro commentary (he pronounced the Caterham, 'Chat-ter-ham'!) the DTM is slightly better than V8STAR and DTC.

DTM - no contest

V8star is pretty good.

It's like ye olde DTM.

I guess the DTM is better in terms of organization, but the V8 Star and DTC definitely "takes the win" for having the most variety of cars! In terms of looks, I think the DTM and V8 Star are tied.

I've only watched DTM races so I can't vote on which is the better
series. I've never watched V8STAR or DTC races.

Speedworx · 6 Aug 2002, 20:37 (Ref:351659)

The DTM rocks.

Trebor · 6 Aug 2002, 20:55 (Ref:351674)

I went to DTM and V8STAR races this year, but I prefer V8STAR.
That's real racing.

DTM is only a commercial show for the manufacturers with big driver names.
DTM is becomming more interessting when Opel, Mercedes and Audi can win races, but at the moment it's only Audi and last two years only Mercedes.

V8 STAR is great, like the old DTM.

The V8STAR -cars sound very good and racing is also interesting, but it's not easy for the (German) motorsport-fans to identify with silhouettes without brand badges(except VW) and identical technics. I think DTC 'SuperProduction'- Racing will be very important as national series/motorsport in the future ,but ETCC (with 'Super 2000'regulations similar to BTCC) will become No.1 in Europe. DTM is a bit too "extravagant" and should have problems without any further works -team engagements coming season.

O'Schumacher · 14 Aug 2002, 23:11 (Ref:358020)

There's no terrestrial TV coverage on any of the series' in England, so I've been without, but based on last year, and, in particular, Uwe Alzen's win at Zandvoort, the DTM is amazing.

Haven't seen either the V8Star cars or DTC, but having been to Donington to watch the DTM boys in action, they have to go top. The cars look and sound awesome. Proper racing cars IMHO.
