Oh man that is the best looking stang I ever saw jesus.

Yes and it almost looks like a DTM car

Just keeping my fingers crossed that Raceroom renew the DTM license and add Aston to the sim.

... this is not AMR, it's HWA with private backers & a license to look vaguely like an Aston ( so in other words, a Mercedes ).

That's the thing I hate about DTM, it masquerades as a touring car cup while its more like spec Formula series, mandated chassis, gearbox and all.

Yeah - I kinda wish they'd go all the way & combine with a GT series, then they could *really* integrate with SuperGT ( and then rename the whole thing DRM, which is another series with history ). Maybe some other euro GT series ( GT Open? ) can add a Class 1 class....

Thing is I can see how we ended up at the 2000 DTM - if you look at the last years of the original DTM and the ITC we were already at touring-car shaped prototypes.They're trying to brand it DTM instead of the full title these days, I think even they realise they can't pass it off as touring cars anymore.

Next radical idea - replace LMP2 with GT500 ( with it's more liberal interpretation of Class 1 ). Going to have to slow LMP2 in 2020 because P1 will be slower anyway.

Have there been any pics released of the new Aston DTM?
