A US-based version of the German DTM touring car series could debut in 2015, running alongside NASCAR and Unified SportsCar rounds.
The idea, born about a year ago, had been forgotten a little in the midst of the merger between ALMS and Grand-Am. With the new series now firmly on track, the focus has shifted back to DTM.
An announcement is set to be made later this week, at the New York motor show, by DTM, Grand-Am and Japanese Super GT representatives.
According to German news website Motorsport-Total, the American DTM could present eighth rounds in 2015, four of which at Unified SportsCar rounds, and the other four at NASCAR events -- all on road courses. Officials are studying the prospect of racing at Sonoma, Watkins Glen, Daytona and Indianapolis.
As far as teams are concerned, official DTM teams could be represented by American customer outfits.
But the American DTM could also shape up as an "all-star" series, pitching against one another stars from DTM, Grand-Am and Super GT.
