Having Rowe confirmed is a very good info, the one I'd been really anticipating. As far as I understand it, Rowe has already confirmed two cars, with third being a chance.

Haupt confirmed with two cars and Maxi Götz being a favourite to one of two seats. According to Motorsport Total, soon there'll be announcements from HTP and Mücke. This, with one GruppeM Mercedes, makes it 7 AMG GT3s. Quite a good number. Among candidates for Mercedes seats are Lucas Auer and Gary Paffett.
Team Rosberg announcement is a bit of surprise, fantastic to have Nico Müller confirmed but, I must admit, I've never heard of Dev Gore. It seems he's the one to supply the team with necessary backing. But it's the young gun so we'll see how he develops. |

Its good news to see HRT confirm to DTM although now they are no longer confirmed to GTWC Sprint Cup. Either way clashes remain so I'm wondering exactly how AMG will staff all these cars with factory drivers (as many as 7 cars in DTM). I suspect some of these cars are going to have to be filled with former DTM drivers or others who are not already members of the factory roster.

There are some rumours regarding the drivers. Allegedly Maxi Götz, Lucas Auer and Gary Paffett are close to the deal. AMG confirms there'll be a mix of experienced and young drivers. Among the candidates there's also Luca Ghiotto and Dani Juncandella. On the other hand, Maro Engel and Raffaele Marciello are ruled out.

And it seems that Schaeffler might bring Paffett back, mostly to test their steering-by-wire system (article in German) https://www.motorsport-total.com/dtm...tions-comeback

That's fantastic news. For quite some time I was thinking of Rockenfeller - van der Linde pairing and there we go. Seems a very strong team. Rocky is a former champion and has been going back to form recently while Kelvin is a very accomplished GT3 driver. Actually that's the ideal pairing for the 'new' DTM. A combination of current DTM drivers, from the previous era, and big GT3 names.

Well I think they've done well to sign those two. What a combo. Can't go much wrong there. Rocky will probably lead the way, but Kelvin will do a great job too. Let's just hope this new DTM era lives up to it's promise. It's got a lot going for it, especially in terms of drivers, cars and teams

Another very good lineup, great to see Auer back in the DTM for 2021. His comeback just for 2020 would've been too shortlived.
Rumours say that Walkenhorst is working on a second car and ROWE on a third with names such as Wittmann, S. Van der Linde, Eng, Glock still in contention for BMW seats in 2021. |

Off-topic. I've found this on a racing auction page. Looks like Kissling have built an Opel (?) based stock car with Chevrolet V8 engine. I'd prefer to watch this type of racing instead of another GT3 nonsense. By the way it's said the car costs 100000 euro only. 4-5 times less than GT3. Why nobody looked this way and build some sort of Brazilian Stock Car championship? There're companies capable of building proper cars on budget.

EDIT: No year but found the link: https://www.racecarsdirect.com/Adver...racing-technic To answering your question: Because DTM wanted always big manufacturer involvement. If we look to the 2021 grid so far we can say DTM was wrong. Something between old DTM (more or less open tech rules) and V8 Star (spec cars). For example spec chassis were manufacturers suppy bodies and engines (like current Stock Car Brasil). No factory teams but professional teams like in 2021 DTM. |
