@Marcus

Also, the gull-wing doors are stupid - why would a car that could have perfectly normal doors adopt a comprimise that decreses access and torsion rigidity?? Oh yeah - marketing!!


Just think over it, how can you get the maximum rigidtiy.

The DTM rules are allowing to design the lower car portion nearly free.

If you read the driverslist; Mayländer, Lamy, Schneider, Asch, Abt,........

OK thats like reading the first years IROC race drivers list.

But I think it is illborn as most car companys move to the F1 for the same money or into the Star division for less.

Right now it is just a Mercedes - Opel battle with some Audi TT runed privat by Christian Abt.
BMW feared to join in there and send there M3 V8 to mix up the Porsche GT3.

The funny thing is the rules wher made under the BMW dictate forcing the other companys to invest much more they would like to do.

BMW race strategy.
Winning by making big words and then don´t show up to play with the big guys.
