Make DTM Great Again! What I would do to bring DTM back to its glory days.

I love DTM, even the current GT3 era produces great racing, and ditching the class 1 I know saved the series. HOWEVER, if I was in charge, I'd look to bring DTM back to its roots in the 1990s. Bring the 'tourenwagen' back into the Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters. I asked Chat GPT to generate me an image of the car based on what I think the series should adopt: take a road car and soup it up. The golden era of DTM were touring cars (like the iconic 190 evo 2) that looked like vehicles you could drive on the roads. Not only that, they were more basic than the Class 1s so you got great racing and I assume weren't as crazy expensive. DTM will always have a capped ceiling with the GT3s, and making DTM the pinnacle of touring cars will set it apart from the rest.

The engine formula can be adapted to ensure major manufacturers are interested, but I think a cheap formula running on fully sustainable fuels will entice the OEMs.
