Please discuss here all your remarks and pose your questions about all racing series, except Formula One. Both technical and other questions about GP2, Touring cars, IRL, LMS, ...
Even in 2011 you would have been allowed to use 2 door cars. So I think this is an agreement between the manufacturers to use 4 door or 2 door cars respectively.
slightly off topic, but so. Tomczyk is the reigning world champion; but we're ending this season with an Esktrom that's massively on form; with 3 wins and a 2nd place out of the last 4 races (sound familiar?)
Im not a aerodimamics guy so i was woundering if some one can clear me out the reason for the swan neck rear wing suports unsted the normal vertical suports!
Other question i have desire to discuss here if you guys have the kindness to reply is the overal width of the cars, 2011 regulations alow the maximum width of 1950 mm, this rule will be the same for 2012 regulations so i made my calculations and having a base car with 1821 mm like the bmw m3, substracting the 1821 from 1950 the result is 129 mm wider, this number divided by 2 is something like 65 mm for each side, my question is dtm cars just have 6,5 cm of wider wheel arch? or they look wider in my eyes or there is some numbers or calculations that i dont know about! please coment!

But as mentioned above, the regulations are not released yet.
BTW: The width for 2011 is 1850mm without mirrors.
No not realy true, 2011 regulations sets the max wider of the cars without mirrors in 1950 mm and not 1850 mm and the next year cars where build with this width but things can change easy, there still is pleanty of time till next year first round!
