Now that we've had a week to digest, reflect and compartmentalize everything that happened in the DTM finale, it seems the right time to look back and see why this was still one of the worst conclusions to a championship in motor racing history...

I think DTM lost ALOT of potential fans with this joke of a championship ending. I think many people (including myself) were watching DTM for the first time w Albono and Lawson racing in it, and it seemed very excited. But if kamikazing your championship rival is allowed AND half the grid aren't allowed to fight each other, this championship is decided before it even starts. It's a real shame.

The real DTM started dying when Mercedes left. GT3 is just the nail in the coffin. There are other, better GT3 series out there, where drivers pay less in entry fees and have more driving time. And they also have much more prestigious races like the Spa 24h and Nurburgring 24h. ADAC GT Masters and GT World Challenge, (SRO in general), offer better sprint racing for lower fees at better tracks, with no dumb regulatory bullshit from the ITR. Time to stick a fork in this thing, it's clearly done.

@_SpamMe 2 года назад

DTM has still a higher media reach than comparable GT series, especially the ADAC GT Masters. The fact that it'll move to Pro7 next season will most likely only strengthen that position. Yeah, some fans are yelling about boycotts now and whatnot; but frankly, that's as likely to have an impact as 1994 (or pick any of the numerous other scandals) had one on F1.

The bad thing: Liam won't race another year in DTM. The good thing (fingers crossed). Helmut Marko seems to have an interest in elevating Liam into F1 (most likely we will see him do Friday pracxtice sessions next year in F1) And a funny side note: Götz won several races in the DTM but none on his own merit. Take a look at the Norisring: he won the frist race because VDL pushed Liam wide. The second race Götz only won because the Merc who weren't even teammates waved him past. And his attitude after sunday was the worst. He said "the others don't deserve the title" Show a bit of humility here dude. and one more thing that enraged a lot of fans: the penalties that were handed to VDL were a "yoke" to quote Alonso: 5 seconds for pushing two drivers to the bottom of the field and even damaging one car so heavily it was basically undriveable? Good thing Liam never even thought about having a "braking mistake" when Götz came near him every once in a while.

My big problem was that DTM passively endorsed the shenanigans that occured. Berger only made a statement several days later, and only after the backlash (with no indications he has any real plans to follow through with those words - no plans, no ideas, just hollow damage control PR). The higher ups at the time were happy to see obvious moves to take out competitors go basically unpunished, were happy to see Mercedes cars slowing to actively ram another car without penalty (or even acknowledgment), and were happy to have inter-team team orders - as long as they got the result, they'd sweep any dodgy stuff under the rug and hope the audience wouldn't notice. They've even taken a few fan videos down of some of the dodgy stuff that didn't make the broadcast. It's either highly incompetent, or corrupt, and it doesn't seem to actually care either way. The team orders is especially egregious when one manufacturer has more than a third of the total cars in the race to try and fix it with. And the ramming of Cassidy was unnecessary and ridiculously dangerous - Elis in any other category would probably face a lengthy ban. DTM wants it to be this way. It's already struggling for relevance, but this is the nail in the coffin.

@cmgamer1309 2 года назад

I only watched dtm since it's reincarnation in 2001 'till about 2008. One the things that always irritated me about dtm is the manufacture team orders. What usually was the case is that, the highest placed driver after one or two races, would be given number 1 status. All the manufactures would follow the same philosophy. Other drivers were pretty much not aloud to race the assigned number 1, and would always have to move over. If there was any category that should ban team orders, it's dtm. Everyone always remembers the 2002 Austrian"let Michael through for the championship" Grand Prix. Go watch the finish of that years DTM race at the same track, another perfect example of why dtm should ban manufactures team orders. Both NASCAR and Supercars only have 3 or 2 manufacturers, and they don't seem to have this problem.

@_SpamMe 2 года назад

That was the bit that didn't quite come across in the vid: the issue so many had with what Merc did is that it was a manufacturer artificially interfering, those were NOT team orders. They drove for different teams. Plus, Merc has more cars in the series than others, so their opportunity to do something like this was much bigger ...

"NASCAR doesn't seem to have this problem" literally every single plate race since 2000 would disagree with you. Hell, I can recall back in 2011 when tandem drafting was a thing, Ford instructed the all the teams that had Ford suppourt (so basically every Ford runner) not to work with anybody not running Fords, and even now, the predominant plate talk is "can the Chevrolets actually work together to usurp the Fords" and how strategically-fucked Toyota is by having only five competitive cars.

@OsellaSquadraCorse 2 года назад

One huge difference though, is that they have privately-owned and entered cars. The DTM didn't. Every single car, from every single team was either paid for, supported by, the manufacturers in those years (even Abt Audi in 2001), so each driver or team had an obligation to listen to the orders and obey (apart from Uwe Alzen, who....is just Uwe Alzen.)
