Rest assured that the FIA GT marketing people had nothing to do with that!! I believe some manufacturers gave out tickets to their employees, Chevy among them. But hey, as long as it gets bums on seats it can't be a bad thing.
This may not be quite a fair assessment but it seems to me the East German race fans are still more open to "non-F1" racing than the West Germans. For instance, motorcycle racing still has a good fan base in the East.
(And the Ring 24 isn't quite as popular with the mainstream fans as the attendance figures make it look, many just come there for the partying.)

That's right, we used to call him "Sandro" back in his Lotus days... - I've forgotten about it, got so used to the Indycar "Alex"

Fantastic achievement by my man Alex!!! I knew he'd get there one day soon.
I've been waiting for this day since Surfers Paradise 1998 - his first donuts since then!
Perhaps fitting that he broke his duck in Germany ......
Huge achievement by the team as well, considering the repair job they had after the round at Spa.

According to the Eurosport commentator it was just a matter of not having the car repaired in time from last races damage.

But remember who crashed the car at Puebla. De Micheli wasn´t at Spa because of that, however he is driving now Colciago´s car. Do you think if Colciago has budget he wouldn´t run?

It's a matter of money, but not in these terms. Colciago is not paying, JAS pays for him, because they wanted a good driver to show Honda what the car can do.
When De Micheli smashed the car in Puebla it was really bad damaged, and JAS now hasn't the money to repair it. De Micheli is the paying driver, so he must be driving. Hope they found an agreement to let Roberto be part of the pack in at least one of the next three meetings...

Actually there's only Schumacher and DTM. Just a coincidence that Schummel is driving F1  Oschersleben wasn't as crowded as last years race. Probably less than 20000.
