FUN FACT: Here in Argentina, an old series called Super TC 2000 copied this format one time in 2013 in the Estadio Unico de La Plata. It was the 10 round of the 12 races championship. It gave points and it was done just once because it wasn't really attractive for the audience on TV, being Argentina really into motorsports.

BMW's Munich headquarters are across the street from the stadium, they could hear the engines from there. Great Video!

Really glad you had a look at this. I was there in 2011. It was my first real life racing event. It was amazing for audience there. All kinds of show runs and being very close to all the drivers and teams. In the end its unfortunately the wrong era to expect fully sold out stadium for a racing series with the management of the series playing its cards ever so wrong.

"I won't spoil the results." Shows car doing donuts.

I think it’s more of an alumni/ all star game of Motorsport

Honestly, the old IROC way I think is the best way. Take a handful of some of the greatest active drivers in top level motorsport, put them all in identical cars and send them off for a race around whichever track they pick at the time.

0:39 They weren't practically silhouette cars, they were silhouette cars (fromm 2000 to 2020, GT3 since). Brought us such wonderful things as V8 powered Astras.

People rag on NASCAR for their "gimmicky" stuff, especially in the late 2000's and early 2010's, and apparently DTM looked at that and said "hold my beer." I could not imagine this becoming a points paying round. On another note, do you have an example of a gimmicky race format you'd be interested in seeing?

@@sunsolaris It's funny to me how pretty much everyone in other series' but the drivers constantly call NASCAR and the drivers therein unworthy of their time while the actual drivers almost universally respect the hell out of it and them.

On the topic of DTM, I think a good subject for your “awful manufacture program?” series would be the R-Motorsport run Aston Martin DTM program in 2019. They had glimmers of potential that sadly never really stuck despite having some pretty well proven drivers in their line up like Paul Di Resta, Daniel Juncadella and Jake Dennis.

I was there in 2012! Don’t have too many memories because I was quite young, but I remember the great visibility of the whole layout and the awesome mood in the stadium. A few things to note: - BMW had already announced their DTM entry back in fall 2010, so this event was not an attempt to persuade them to enter. - The fact that it’s very similar to the Race of Champions cannot be a reason for its demise because literally nobody knows or cares about ROC in Germany. There’s zero media coverage of the events to this day.

When DTM was a touring champoship not a GT one. Miss those days :(.

If you get a chance you should look into the story of the ill fated united states touring car championship which lasted 2 seasons (1995/1996). The racing was amazing and the series had massive potential, unfortunately it got screwed over by external politics (SCCA didn't like them) and the asian market crash induced recession of 1997.

This reminds me a little of the X-Games RallyCar from 2006-2009.

I saw this live on TV both times and I loved it espeacially the first edition. Said that it never was held again.

For a video similar to the Lotus GTE or Jaguar GT3 video, you should do one on the Mercedes C63 v8 supercar program

I would have watched this, but I also used to watch the NASCAR pit crew races. I think they used to have the pit crews race to determine qualifying order for the all-star race, or something like that. It was the only "race" on a wednesday, and this is when I would watch belt sander drag racing on Speed TV.

I always wondered what happened to that event. I like the premise of it, but yes it definitely falls a bit flat sadly in terms of appearance. Excellent work as always!

I'd love to see a video about the Mini Countryman WRC at some point, it seemed to disappear very quickly after debuting

This is the sort of gimmicky insanity NASCAR would try.

5:16 Hmm, how about a short oval round kinda like what NASCAR did with the LA Coliseum?

This weirdly reminds me of the Formula One Indoor Trophy events from the late 80’s/ early 90’s. They’re something you could also take a look at

I remember watching those as a child, was pretty awesome

Top video as always mate. 11/10

If you switch your interest from circuits to obscure races, you can try making a video about "Trofeo Indoor F1 Motor Show Bologna". - One of the last events that can be classified as "Non-Champtionship F1 race"

I have seen this format in CMR 2.0, it is quite fun.

I’ve a feeling that I might have seen one of these live on Motors Tv back in The day Cool concept but lacked something

what’s weird is this format for the second year is almost identical to Monster Jam in the US (minus the pits). 2 thousand+ horse power trucks drive in asymmetric courses with the winner advancing and so on

Very Interesting video I thought about something : could you do a video with the drivers who won a championship without winning a race like : -Mehdi Bennani 2020 TCR Europe -Matt Carton 2020 Camping World Truck Series - ... It would be cool I guess

Have you seen how gridlife does their time attack series? You qualify and the top 6 cars go out in the same run group and same conditions and put a time down. Real interesting take on the genre of time attack

Now you have to do one about the Dtm race of legends :)

now I kinda want to see a constructors points awarding event that is just the pit stops

DTM’s event at München Olimpiastadion was pretty nice event, in my opinion

Why not "spoil" something that this video is intended to introduce people into? I got hooked into a good story then...

These E92 in DTM trim are absolute snacks! Such a shame that BMW ran them for only two years

How Long till F1 sees this video and tries it out?

I mean the side-by-side knockout format is _basically_ the format that monster trucks have used since actually racing monster trucks was a thing, just with tarmac racing cars. What DTM did kind of has similarities to the Anaheim style course. Oddly enough ROC style crossover courses don't work that well for the big trucks inside stadiums because they need more room than a stadium can offer for the crossover. Taller truck, taller crossover (jump). go figure. Crossover style courses tend to happen at speedways where there's more room. NASCAR took a different path to stadium racing recently with putting the pre-Daytona Clash inside the LA Coliseum, basically turning a large venue into a small short-track, and for _now_ it seems to be working well. The old Mickey Thompson series also ran exclusively in stadiums on dirt short-course circuits with small off-road trucks and buggies, running moderately large fields all at once, and it ran quite some time, through the '80s and into the early '90s before Thompson's death and less interest from manufacturers resulted in the series being bought out and slowly fading away. The Super Stadium trucks you see at Indy races now are basically meant to be used in stadiums as a revival of the MTEG series, but were thrown out onto the streets (literally) by...and we're coming full circle here...Monster Jam's owner.

neat vid

Chilled environment 😂 micheal Schumacher wanted another car cause it had a slight issue. Most off them go crazy competitive with this

I'm not gonna say much on this other than this kind of race is... kind of a trip.

Completely of subject but thats my favourite football stadium

Although you say another series doesn't do this, the WRC does do this with the SuperSpecial's on select events. Perosnally, I'm not really a fan at all, both in sims and in real life. I went to one in Wales once, and, although it was cool to see rally cars and I'm grateful I got to see them before it was unceremoniously dumped, it wasn't really that special. The only one I really don't mind is the one in Kenya, called Kasarani.

Why wouldn't you 'spoil' the results of an event over a decade old?

"I'm not gonna spoil who won this event" Oh goody I was just so worried I was gonna be spoiled over who won an exhibition DTM race in 2011 and it's 2012 event too. I'm sorry but the whole not spoiling thing is a bit ridiculous, otherwise I enjoyed the video, but that did take me out of it because it just made keep thinking "why?"

roc at the time was great but now its very meh, so an early 10s roc type event would be nice right now imo

i remember watching this live, but wow was it forgettable... cars were just far too large for such a go-kart like circuit. Glad they didnt continue.

Oof, late 00's, early 10's DTM deserves plenty of videos on their own. Unbearable politics by the manufacturers, including very blatant team orders. Stupid rules, like those two mandatory pitstops, or drivers getting blue flags, when a driver ran behind them, that had more pitstops than they had. The racing was also soooo boring. The cars had too much downforce, which didn't allow the cars to run close to each other. There were so many issues with DTM that ultimately caught up with them by the time covid hit and the remaining manufacturers left. On the other hand, I kinda miss that era of DTM. Germany's biggest manufacturers, duking it out in spectacular race cars, wheel to wheel in sprint races, with big name drivers, but also pushing talent and creating new stars. Maybe the move to electric cars will push manufacturers to build spectacular, electric race cars for sprint events. And no, Formula E doesn't count.
