@redheadmarshal I loved this show, like you say, it was an amazing variety. I've tried to find the introduction to the show, it was worth the licence fee alone.
I don't know what any of you are talking about. These cars are nice but, the new DTM cars are just as nice if not better. Racing will always be life too me and I respect ALL cars and race cars. Stop being fairweather fans and fanboys. You either love Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters or you don't. Any TRUE racing enthusiast and car enthusiast would agree with me......
Very great!! And I have to say that they talk about the high tech and the high budgets that destroyed our touring car championship in Germany forever. It is nice to watch a Tiff Needell footage and not easy to watch the year all had changed.
And to think in less than two years from this, DTM would be gone, turned into ITC that the FIA murdered by running the costs up and taking them to far flung places. Hey that sounds familiar. Then the revised DTM laste about...oh....10 or 15 years before finally dying a slow painful death and turning into yet another GT3 seriesAI
Max li Basically, in 1996 the FIA took main control of the series, milked all the money out of it, starved the teams of cash, reduced fan access, AND hiked the TV licensing fees. In other words, basically what they've done to F1.
RIP Old Hockenheim, 90's high-tec DTM was much better than the modern plastic cars, shame nobody would ever commit to a championship that expensive now.
ABS don't take something away? Although he is right , they don't make one Schumacher. They still take away spectacular wheel locking for spectators and one of the hardest skills in driving. Spectators lose, drivers lose, and the teams have to deal with more stuff in the car. ABS is only good for those who can't drive like all other driving aids.
@tambunansumlang it's because of the leverage. when you're closer to the steering wheel, you have to move your arm less to steer the same amount compared to a situation when you are further away from it and your arms are more extended.
no thats totally not so I'm a real racing fanatic, but i like it when they are RACING. that involves bodytouching, outbreaking, trying so hard to overtake causing some errors, crashes, etc.. look at the old BTCC races and dtm: you see the drivers AND the cars are working HARD to keep on the track. You SEE the SPEED nowadays it's all about safety and as less as possible damage thats not racing (sure you have to respect the cars, material, etc) Reasons enough to not like all racing
DTM =/ DTM. Most love the Deutsche Tourenwagen MEISTERSCHAFT but not the Deutsche Tourenwagen MASTERS. Small difference in name, big difference in quality!
Soweit wie ich weiß hat man es damals aus Kostengründen sterben lassen Nur um dann 3, 4 Jahre Später es wieder als überteure Rennserie wieder auferstehen zu lassen
I never will understand why they deconstructed the original layout of Hockenheim. Couldn't they just have left the old version and built the current layout as well?
you're right about the series being more spectacular and interesting in the 80-90's , but it's the movement from groupA to high-budget -tec racing group that killed series like we loved it. they should' ve kept it max as when all cars were allowed wings. that would' ve been the way to keep more brands in it and keep the series alive don't understand why that guy prefers 3 to 5 brands in the series against 8 or more it was because of the high numbers of cars and brands that most loved it
So he drives a DTM car, and all Mr Needell can tell us is that the car brakes really well, and that it oversteers, but thats ok cos he likes it. Gee thanks Tiff. Let us know when someone actually reviews this beast properly.
