THE LINE

 DTM Geeks. Editor-in-Chief's Note: Now that DTM geeks over here are in high dudgeon over the official "confirmation" that the DTM is coming here in 2013, let me just reiterate that it's just so much wishful thinking - on both sides of the ball. Some in NASCAR's Grand-Am series are desperate to instill some level of credibility into their series - beyond the Daytona 24 Hour race - while trying to counter the appeal of the intense GT2 competition going on in the ALMS, thus the idea of DTM cars racing over here. And as I said before, the DTM thinks the racing world revolves around them, so it's only natural that they'd think the U.S. road racing community would drop everything to have the DTM over here. Read "Fumes," which we left up again this week. I stand by every word of it. DTM in 2013? It's notgonnahappen.com. - PMD

Editor-in-Chief's Note: If you really must keep up on all of the latest F1 developments and the potential U.S. GP in Austin, Texas, go here. - PMD

Editor-in-Chief's Note: Check out Michelin's racing website - "Michelin Alley" - and get in on all of the behind-the-scenes buzz. Go here. - PMD
