WTF is this big thing on top of the splitter? Ugly aero element?

All Super GT 500 cars have that DTM inspired element, of course that others hid it better.

Audi hid it altogether.

They're not "DTM Inspired."

GT500 and DTM both run to the same regulations aside from motors as of this year.

Any idea how much a DTM programme costs? Toyota's R&D and motorsport budgets are stretched pretty thin, right now, but throwing a V8 in that, and taking the fight to German turf, would be pretty neat, Cadillac should do that too, with the ATS Coupe.

No idea on money figures, just A Lot.

There's a proposed "American DTM" series that's supposed to take shape over the course of this year and start racing next year. I think the end game was to have some sort of grand final between the three at the end of the racing season.

Did you post this because the pit crew is in blackface? Or is it supposed to be about the car? because I can't see the car, what with all the blackface happening. Damn, Lexus.

ETA: Oh, they're mannequins. Still, not great.

Car looks cool but the point are the tuxedos, how many pit crews do you see wearing white tuxedos?

ah, I see. It's Lexus. I figured everyone there did everything in tuxedos.

The other idea, me thinks, was to make easier for a manufacturer that races in one series, join the other with relative ease and low costs. And make them mote interesting to watch, for example the DTM is watched only by Germans, and people in smaller countries around Germany, who don't have their own series. But if Lexus and Cadillac would join in, the series would become interesting for Japanese and Americans, and even for Europeans who were considering it 'a German only, thing'.

The same theory goes for the SuperGT, too
