Ford to return to DTM after more than 3 decades

[Ludachris]

"Ford will be represented in the DTM for the first time in over three decades, with the American marque inking a new partnership with long-time Mercedes customer HRT for 2025.

The outfit run by businessman and gentleman driver Hubert Haupt will field a pair of Ford Mustang GT3s in the DTM next year, run under the Ford Performance HRT banner.

It will be a part of a larger collaboration between Ford and HRT that will see the German squad enter the GT3 version of the popular muscle car in other European championships, including the NLS, GT Masters and GT World Challenge Europe."

I like this for the publicity boost Ford should get. But I still lament DTM changing to be just another GT3 series. I understand the cost-containment that GT3 nets them, but the bespoke DTM cars were just way cooler.

I was wondering why that DTM car looked just like the GT3 i thought it was just a placeholder.. usually DTM's are lower and wider and more radical.
