Aussie "Supercar" series are closed shop. Restricted to the selected few manufacturers. It's not like F1. It's not even comparable based on a teams budget. That would be like comparing Top Fuel with Super Street, or Pro street or even Pro modified etc etc etc.

Im all for diversity. The more manufacturers in any race the better. Both f1 and supercars are motorsport series leaving aside the huge budget discrepancies you can compare the racing and that is what supercars excells at, producing excellent racing. "The Supercars are a long way from a road car, but they are closer [than a DTM car]. If you look inside the car, it looks more like a road car. And it handles more like a road car, because it has no downforce.

"The downforce makes a difference, and that's what we need to get rid of in the DTM and get closer to what the guys are doing in Australia.

"That shows in the races. They are pure fighting, pure racing, and that's what the fans want to see. That's what the manufacturers need to see in the future.

"Entertaining the fans, that's what we need. That's why I say we need to go more and more in this direction with the car, and automatically the show will be better, automatically the fans will join, because it will be a show and proper racing.

"I hope that's the way we go in the future. I hope Gerhard [Berger] steers it in the right way, and I think that's what he's doing at the moment. He knows where we need to be, but it's not done in half a year or a year. It takes time." -Timo glock Supercars are obviously doing something right if a DTM driver is praising them so much and wants DTM to be like them. And even wants a chance at bathurst. Glock also revealed that he has the Bathurst 1000 on his bucket list, and has even held very preliminary talks with Aussie racing legend Mark Skaife about a Wildcard entry, similar to what Andy Priaulx and Mattias Ekstrom did in 2013.

"I'm a big fan of the V8s. I watch a lot of the races," he added.

"It would be a race that's on my list to do, it would be a dream to do a Supercars test at some time. But it's tough to get it done because of my schedule, doing DTM races and then doing the commentary stuff for RTL in F1. It's quite busy at that time of the year.
