It would certainly be interesting to see the current DTM touring cars on the Nordschleife, but that will certainly not be possible in race mode. The cars of the nineties weren't the least bit slow and they still drove their DTM race on the Nordschleife. Schneider, Ludwig, Cecotto and co were still beating their 190E 2.5-16s and M3 E30s around the carousel!

And so it should be again in 2018, because on the occasion of the Touring Car Classics as part of the Nürburgring Classics, the entire circuit will be raced again, just like 25 years ago!
