here's shot of that car in action. Technically it's not the DTM, it was changed to the ITC in 1996, I believe d/t lack of support and ran as the ITC until 2000 when major manufacturer interest came back and the new DTM was created, bringing out some of the absolute best racing...PERIOD!!!

 

[StygianMax]

Thanks for al the kind words guys. :cheers :cheers

mwrmt: Many thanks for posting that awesome picture and some background info about the ITC!! I'm not all that familiar with it and still trying to find more info about its background. Would you have any good links?

 

[Guest]

SM-here's the official DTM website

http://www.dtm.de/index.php?lang=en

and this one has great coverage as well.

Awesome pics BTW. :cool1 I need to shoot some of my 1996 ITC Wurz Opel. :happytwo

here's abit more info:
In 1995 under the auspices of the FIA, the DTM championship was taken out of its national context. Several of the races took place in other parts of Europe under the parallel title "ITC" or International Touring Car Championships. This allowed Mercedes to take titles in both the DTM and ITC in 1995.

Thanks for those two links. I've roamed around the DTM site before and they do have awesome pictures there! Now, what does ITC stand for? :confused I gather T=Touring and C=Cars?

:feedback

Thanks also for the compliment on the pics. Glad you like them! I'd love to see your Wurz Opel sometime too. Is that a Calibra or an Astra?

 

[Guest]

Awesome shots Felix, the yellow really stands out on the black background. The front spoiler on these Calibra's is what makes the car look so cool. :cheers

 

[Guest]

Mike, do you have a pic of the Jagermeister Alfa that's just ahead of the Opel? Cool pic BTW. :cheers
