Well it looks Jean Alesi took 1st place at Hockenheim. Cutting 1min35 sec laps. Mika Hakkinen came in eight. Is this where the F1 drivers hang out now? The biggest feather in the hat is Mercedes took 1st 2nd and 3rd.

Simple, put in a new track only suspension some chassis braces and a full cage, gut the interior, move the engine back about 6-8 inches, put a body on the car that looks similar to an f-body but makes a ton of downforce, then get some race slicks and gut the interior and you're there.

Better add a 1million dollars to that and you got it. Those DTM are basically front engine F1 racecars with body work.
